Hamza topped the leaderboard after Week 1
Northampton's Strictly Come Dancing star Hamza Yassin is impressing judges with his fancy footwork, and sits third on the hit show's leaderboard. Despite being a novice on the dancefloor, the 32-year-old CBeebies presenter and wildlife cameraman is wowing the experts with his ability, reports the Daily Mirror.
The former Wellingborough School pupil took a holiday with a friend to the Ardnamurchan peninsula, one of the most remote areas of Scotland and the most westerly point of Great Britain's mainland. The Bangor University zoology graduate immediately fell in love with the wildlife, in particular the golden eagles and the red deer. After that, he spent one week convincing his parents of his plan to relocate there, and set off for the village of Kilchoan in the West Highlands.
Meanwhile, the star believes his dyslexia could prove to be a secret weapon as he competes for the Glitterball Trophy in the BBC contest. Describing the condition as "a gift", Hamza said it might help him to remember the steps during training with his professional partner.
