STRICTLY Come Dancing favourite Hamza Yassin and his partner Jowita Przystal will be dancing the Argentine Tango to Libertango by Bond on Saturday.

The dancing competition reaches week 10 this weekend.

Former Hear’Say singer Kym Marsh has tested positive for Covid-19, so will not be dancing this week with her professional partner Graziano Di Prima, so it will be six couples taking to the dance floor on Saturday night.
 

In last week's show, Hamza and Jowita were placed third after opening the Blackpool special in sophisticated style by performing an elegant American smooth to New York, New York by Frank Sinatra.

Dressed in a tail suit, the wildlife cameraman and Bangor University graduate performed dizzying lifts and spins to secure a score of 38.

Bangor University has thrown their support behind Hamza.

They also posted a video where Hamza discussed why Bangor University was the "best place" for him to develop "those wildlife photography skills!"

In the video, Hamza, a former rugby player for Bangor University, said: "I knew I wanted to be a wildlife camera man and I didn't know how to do it. I knew I needed a degree underneath my belt, and I needed the experience, but how do I get the camera work experience? So the best thing to do is I followed all the teams that were happening so the girls hockey, the football. I photographed them just out of my own time and curiousity. With that it allowed me to get my camera skills and hand-eye co-ordination and be able to anticipate what's happening.

"I loved sports anyway. I was a rugby player for Bangor Uni but it was nice to be able to take a little bit of practice and there was everything here. So once I finished filming the human side of things I would go to Holyhead, South Stack, and film the birds there.
