Hamza Yassin has sent fans wild in the Strictly Come Dancing semi-finals with a performance inspired by Scotland.
The wildlife photographer, who lives in the West Highlands in Scotland, took to the Strictly stage tonight sporting a kilt - much to the delight of fans. The 32-year-old moved to Scotland for university when he was 21 and holds a deep connection with the country.
And his performance had another key Scots link as he danced the Charleston to Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nutini. Hamza is one of the favourites to take home the Glitterball trophy next weekend - and he has won even more supporters with Sunday's performance.
As Hamza and Jowit were joined by fellow semi-finalists Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez and Will Mellor and Nancy Xu, all eyes were on the CBeebies star's kilt.
Fans of the hit BBC dancing show took to Twitter to express their delight. @JMACL1673 commented: "Hamza in a kilt!"
@reieesc wrote: "Hamza in a kilt is my fave outfit this series." Meanwhile, @LittleMissMon said:"Hamza + Kilt = maximum votes."
@ek46 agreed, adding: "Hamza in a kilt!!! Could that man be any more adorable?" @reelofthe51st tweeted: "Hamza in a kilt. I approve."
And @uisgebeatha declared: "Hamza in a kilt is EVERYTHING."
This comes after Hamza spoke about the importance of allowing men to be vulnerable on TV. “It’s important for people to see men being vulnerable on TV,” Hamza said in a candid chat to The Mirror.
“The person you see on the telly is the person I am in everyday life. I’m just a bit more emotional than others. And I don’t worry about holding back.
“I’m not emotional because I’m upset though, I’m emotional because I’m proud.”
