It has been reported that a BBC insider insisted Hamza only “took part in two performances to help out a friend whose dance partner could no longer participate” at Bangor. It’s not clear why he would want to keep his dance experience at university a secret but I do not think this is fair to those voting for him.” The wildlife cameraman studied zoology and conservation at Bangor, graduating in 2011. In October he also claimed never to have danced with a partner apart from some Gaelic dancing. Hamza, who spent the first eight years of his life in Sudan before coming to England, has wowed the judging panel.

Jowita added: "When I show him a routine he is able to pick it up so quickly because he learns through visuals. However, it has previously stated it is a dancing gift and helps his visualise the dancefloor in 3D. For a while during Hamza's childhood spent in Khartoum and Newcastle, where he picked up a Geordie accent, he was destined to become a dentist but the daunting textbooks put him off. I learn though visuals." Instead, he went on to study Zoology with Conservation at Bangor University. The loveable

Speaking about his hair on This Morning, he previously divulged that he has refused to have it cut for the past 17 years. I think it’s from the days of chucking people up in lineouts in rugby, and also tossing the caber in Scotland, which is really good fun." “So I don’t want to be a rhino, I want to be a dolphin that’s constantly moving through water that can go for hours and hours.
