Strictly Come Dancing 2022 winner Hamza Yassin was absolutely beaming with glee as he was seen leaving the series after-party following his triumph on the dancefloor.
An average of 9.2million people tuned in to see wildlife cameraman Hamza, 32, lift the glitterball alongside professional partner Jowita Przystal on Saturday night.
He had taken to the stage with Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, and Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, before securing his win in the glitzy finale.
But afterwards, it was time to celebrate, and celebrate they did, as the stars came out to play after yet another successful series on the dancefloor.
Hamza couldn’t take the smile off his face as he was seen in the backseat of a car leaving the after-party.
Out of his dance outfit and dressed in something a little more comfortable, he peeked out from behind an open window as fans greeted him on the way out.

The winner flashed two thumbs up, showing his sheer glee at emerging victorious in the programme, with his glitterball trophy taking pride of place on the seat next to him.
Hamza was joined by his Strictly comrades, including Tony Adams, who wore a bright pink shirt and similarly threw some thumbs up as he was seen leaving amid the celebrations.

Host Tess Daly kept to herself in the backseat, as did professional dancers Kai Widdrington and Nadiya Bychkova. At the same time, judge Shirley Ballas looked to be on top of the world, sharing a peace sign for photographers.
Her fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood wore a comfy Australian jersey top, while also flashing a cheerful grin, while a smiling It Takes Two’s Rylan Clark had a more low-key exit.

Hamza still hasn’t processed his victory and admitted in a heartwarming social media post he is ‘still trying to comprehend what happened’.
Taking to Instagram to reflect on his triumph, he took a moment to heap praise on his partner Jowita, describing her as an ‘angel disguised as a human being’ and a ‘ray of sunshine’.
‘Thank you for your trust and guidance throughout this incredible journey,’ he wrote. ‘You shone a light for me that got me through some tough weeks and you have been by my side every step of the way.
‘You will go on to do great things in your life. It was my pleasure to be your student. I will forever be grateful for how you have changed my life.’
Hamza also went on to thank the Strictly team for giving him the opportunity of a lifetime, before moving on to acknowledge the judges, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood, as well as thanking the British public for voting for him.
Strictly Come Dancing is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
