Strictly Come Dancing finalist Hamza Yassin has revealed that his biggest struggle on the BBC show has been his lack of confidence and says that he still thinks he can't dance.
The 32-year-old has danced each week in making it to the final, wowing Strictly fans, but Hamza has said that he's "super nervous" and that he "didn't think he'd be here" still, reports the Mirror.
Hamaza said: "I'm nervous [because] I didn't think I'd be here, thought week one - get going! I didn't think I could dance, I still don't think I could dance." Dance partner Jowita Przystał added: "This is my problem every week."

"I will tell him, 'Oh, you're amazing' and then we go out on the night and he performs and we're standing and listening to the judges' comments and then he says, 'Oh my gosh, Jowita, you were actually right! You told me I did it right!' and I was like, 'Yes, I did!'"
Speaking about his main struggle on the show being self confidence, he said: "Yeah, I would definitely say that because each week is a new doubt and I felt like I was back at square one again. You're learning a different hold or a different feeling.
"For some of it you have to act the dances. So confidence for me - I'm certainly out of my comfort zone. If you put me in front of a lion charging at me with a camera I'm like, 'Cool, I know what that's going to do and I'm confident there.
"Whereas here - I'm in clothes I would never normally wear, I'm doing stuff that I wouldn't normally do and I don't hear the music, believe it or not. I feel the music - well, if there's a rhythm I feel the music but Jowita will say, 'Go on the bit where it says...' and I'm like, 'I don't know!'
"So for me, confidence is a tough thing, but I feel like my dyslexia helps me out with my dancing so I have that to rely on. The 3D thinking of where we need to be and stuff, that's perfect."
Whilst Jowita said: "I hope that on this Saturday night, you're just going to go out there, have fun and have the best time because it's the last time."
Hamza said winning the show "would just be a dream come true. It would be like the icing on the cake, Christmas, Easter all mixed together.
"I can't give her anything in life that she can't get herself. The only thing that I can do my best is on the dancefloor and hopefully lift that Glitterball trophy."
*The Strictly final airs Saturday, December 17, at 7.05pm on BBC One
