Strictly Come Dancing finalist Hamza Yassin has revealed how his dyslexia diagnosis helped him dance.

Despite having little confidence in himself each week, Hamza and partner Jowita Przystal have soared through to the finals this week.

The documentary-maker will be battling for the glitterball trophy against Helen Skelton, Fleur East and Molly Rainford.

However, despite becoming a firm favourite with fans, it hasn’t been an easy ride and Hamza’s confidence is still a struggle.

Ahead of the final on Sunday, the 32-year-old told Metro.co.uk and other press: ‘Each week is a new dance, and it feels like you’re back in square one again, and you’re learning a different hold.’

He continued: ‘I’m certainly out of my comfort zone, a lion charging in front of the camera I’m like, “Alright cool, I know what that’s going to do,” and I’m confident there, whereas here I’m in clothes that I wouldn’t normally wear, doing stuff that I wouldn’t normally do.’

‘I don’t hear the music believe it or not, I feel the music, there’s a rhythm,’ Hamza added.

‘For me, confidence is a tough thing, but I feel like my dyslexia helps me out with my dancing. So I have that to rely on.’

On Sunday’s show, Jowita had Hamza in tears as explained to him and the audience why he deserves a place in the final.

‘First time when I met you, I asked your for the trust and the energy and you gave me much more than that,’ she began.

‘Seeing you every day, going out of your comfort zone, and working so hard and giving me 120% every time is amazing.

But, what’s made me the proudest teacher in the world is how you always go there on the night and you dance from the heart, thank you for that.’
