“Then I just rebelled one year, I’m like, ‘I’m done’. And that was it!”
The Strictly star certainly made the right decision, as fans and judges alike have been paying compliments to Hamza’s hair since the start of the 2022 series.
Hamza went on to reveal his flowing locks have become part of his dance routine.

“If the dress is flowing, let my hair flow as well!”
