Strictly Come Dancing fans brand BBC show a 'fix' as Hamza Yassin takes crown

Strictly Come Dancing fans have branded the show a fix after Hamza Yassin won tonight.

The BBC One Latin and ballroom show ended tonight with the wildlife cameraman taking the crown. As he accepted the trophy, he told hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly: "Words cannot describe how I feel right now. I want to thank one person in particular."

Fans were incredibly emotional over Hamza's win over Helen Skelton, Fleur East and Molly Rainford, but other viewers rushed to social media and slammed the show as a 'fix' as their favourite missed out on the top place as the show came to an end for this series.

One wrote: "What a fix! Hamza was the worst of the night #Strictly," whilst another added: " #Strictly A total fix bottom of the score board but wins ? Shows the judges are clueless ..we are all clueless.. disgusting."

"No... Hamza can't dance. Strictly is a fix. That's the BBC for you. I won't be watching it again. Helen & Gorka should've won. It's all wrong. It was sadly a foregone conclusion. Rigged. #Strictly," a third shared.

A fourth added: " #strictly @bbc put Hamza there as he is going to be the new Attenborough. He was hopeless tonight….what a fix," as a fifth penned: " #Strictly is a fix z list person wins. Made mistakes in every dance was not good. BBC lost even more creditability."

Whilst some branded the show a fix, others were thrilled for Hamza for his win.

"Congratulations to Hamza! I think any of the four finalists would have been worthy winners. I feel Helen had the edge after her last dance but it wasn’t meant to be #Strictly," one fan penned.

A second added: "Oh I’m so happy for Hamza!! What a ray of sunshine he is!! #Strictly," as a third shared, "What. A. Final. WOW!!!!! My winner won, well done Hamza, you are sunshine itself! Loved it, love you."

"Well done Hamza & Jowita!!! What a journey for them. Any of the 4 could have won tonight. #Strictly," another penned.

Hamza and Jowita were overcome by emotion as they lifted the Glitterball Trophy. He then shared some advice he was given previously with Strictly viewers. He told people to "surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when you enter room", he said "the top of one mountain is the bottom of the next so keep climbing" before also adding that "slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be". He also referred to Jowita as "an angel disguised as a human being".
