Hamza is now looking at being the celebrity to scoop the Glitterball Trophy, after starting out as the underdog.

Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez have shown they have got what it takes, and are now second in the lead to win Strictly 2022.

It comes after Helen's odds dropped dramatically after last weeks risqué performance. But while not everyone agreed with her performance last week, the talent is undeniable.

And while they have never topped the leader board, they have come close several times and have never been in the bottom two.

The bookies have given them odds of 7/1 for Strictly victory.

Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu - 25/1

After finding themselves in the bottom two a number of times, they have proven they're made of strong stuff.

Molly is now looking at coming in third during the big grand final with odds of 25/1.

Fleur East and Vito Coppola 50/1
