Hamza said the dance "was to celebrate my three mothers as I call them. Mother Nature, Mother Africa and my mother."

He continued: "It was just a case of going out there and enjoying it, it was a lot of passion and a lot of emotion.

"Jowita danced her heart out that night and we went out there with no expectations.

"We didn't know what was going to happen and it was the first time ever for Strictly to have Afro-fusion on there and represent the continent of Africa where I'm from."

Strictly Come Dancing returns on Sunday, December 11 on BBC One
