Strictly Come Dancing star Hamza Yassin has revealed that he has lost a stone since he started dancing on the hit BBC series. The wildlife cameraman and BBC star, 32, is paired up with professional dancer Jowita Przystal on this year's series.
He told BBC Radio Scotland: "I've lost a lot of weight already, around 6.5kg [one stone], which is unheard of really. But if you're training nine hours a day you kind of get that. It's hard. Everything just aches and aches. With the Foxtrot my knees ached, then it was my knees and my lower back for the Jive, and this week it's a hard dance [the Salsa]."
He continued: "These guys [the professional dancers] have been doing it for 12-15 years and we have to come to their standards in four days. We're never going to get to their standards, but we still have to learn the basics and do a show and perform and deliver it on a Saturday. It's kind of crazy, but I'm absolutely enjoying it."
