Hamza broke down in tears as he received his second set of scores from the judges
The wildlife cameraman and broadcaster took to the BBC ballroom to perform two dances in the semi-final.
Hamza, who is known for his role as Ranger Hamza on CBeebies, scored a whopping 39 points from the judges in his first routine, a Charleston to Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nutini.
For his second dance, the judges awarded him 37, for his Waltz to What The World Needs Now by Burt Bacharach.
But the personality broke down in tears as he recieved his second set of marks, which landed him at the top of the leaderboard.
After performing their second dance of the night, Hamza and Jowita ran up to the contestants’ platform to chat to Claudia.
As the pair gathered their breath after the judges comments, she asked Hamza: “How was that waltz for you?”
The TV personality replied: “Yeah, um, just really beautiful because this is Jowita’s favourite ballroom dance to do, so to be able to do that and just dance our last ballroom is, yeah, something special.”
But after he received his score of 37 from the judges, he started to sob as he brought his hand up to his face.
When asked why the media personality deserved to be in the final, The Polish professional dancer replied: “I mean, the first time when I met you I asked you for the trust, and your energy, and you gave me much more than that.”
But although he stunned the judges with two jaw-dropping performances, fans had the same complaint as he failed to achieve a Perfect Ten after Craig scored him a nine.
One fan took to Twitter to say: “Hamza to win. Come on British public. Don’t let me down. Also, Craig – semi-finals and you’ve only got the 10 paddle out once.. 2022 requires some more enthusiasm from you please.”
Another added: “No way, no f****** way, Hamza’s been robbed of a perfect score for weeks now, f**** sake give him 40! He’s earned it!”
A third fan noted: “HAMZA DESERVES A PERFECT SCORE ITS ABOUT TIME”
Fans in the ballroom also made their voices heard, booing both Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas for their reluctance to give out 10s.
However, the presenter is currently the bookies favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing next week.
Research from BonusCodeBets has analysed the characteristics of all previous winners and has revealed that Hamza is most likely to lift this year’s glitterball trophy.
