Hamza Yassin 'most likely' to finish in top three of Strictly Come Dancing final

Hamza Yassin is predicted to make it into the top three of this weekend's Strictly Come Dancing final, according to the bookies.

The BBC cameraman and wildlife photographer will be joined in the finale on Saturday night alongside Helen Skelton, Molly Rainford and Fleur East as they battle it out for the iconic glitterball trophy.

Hamza and his pro-partner Jowita Przystal are the favourites to win tomorrow night and have been for some weeks - and the 32-year-old, who lives in Ardnamurchan, has thanked Scotland for getting him so far in the competition.

Sam Boswell, spokesperson of online bookies BetVictor, said: "Saturday evening is the grand final and by the end of the night we’ll have our 2022 Strictly winner.

"The remaining four couples set to take on three routines each – a brand new showdance and two previous routines, one chosen by the judges and a favourite chosen by the couples themselves.

"Hamza is still our favourite to win at 8/15. He’s dominated the market throughout the series, some lucky punters backed him early in the series sat on prices as big as 25/1.

"Hamza and Jowita’s favourite dance is Couple’s Choice to Jerusalema – Remix by Master KG featuring Burna Boy and Nomcebo Zikode.

"Helen Skelton is close behind Hamza, as she comes in at 6/4. Helen and Gorka’s favourite dance of the series will be their iconic Couple’s Choice to Mein Herr by Liza Minnelli (from Cabaret).

"Molly Rainford is 25/1, Molly and Carlos’ favourite dance is Rumba to All the Man That I Need by Whitney Houston.

"Fleur East is 50/1, Fleur and Vito’s Couple’s Choice to Destiny’s Child Megamix by Destiny’s Child."

Despite his stint at dancing, Hamza showed he's not given up the day job yet when he came to the rescue of a bird trapped in a window at the BBC studios in London earlier this week.

He was filming Strictly spin-off It Takes Two earlier this morning alongside Jowita when he was called to aid the little robin.

Strictly Come Dancing: The Final will air live on Saturday at 7.15pm, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
