The 32-year-old TV presenter and his professional partner Jowita Przystał have been crowned as the latest winners of the BBC dance show.

Hamza - who became visibly emotional after being named as the winner - said: "Words can't describe how I feel. Jowita, you are an angel disguised as a human being."

Jowita, 28, was also full of praise for her partner, hailing Hamza as proof that "anything is possible".

She said: "I think anything is possible. He's just proof that anything is possible.

"He came here on the show with no dancing experience, with pigeon toes and he worked hard, and he made it.

"I would love to thank everybody, you are amazing."

Earlier in the night, Hamza and Jowita opened the show with an eye-catching salsa routine that earned them a score of 39 out of a possible 40 points from the judges.

Head judge Shirley Ballas said: "What a way to open the final of 'Strictly' 2022.

"I particularly wanted to see this dance again because I wondered if there was a possibility you could improve it anymore - and you did!"

Motsi Mabuse was similarly enthusiastic about their salsa routine.

She said: "Watching it a second time, I thought, 'Will I love it?' I loved it more. It's like you're watching music in your body."

Hamza and Jowita subsequently returned to perform their Show Dance.

Their second routine wasn't as impressive as the first, but they were still awarded 34 points.

Craig Revel Horwood said: "'I thought it was a little bit rocky and underwhelming if I'm honest. It did go a little bit wrong, which took you off balance.

"It was classy and classic like yourself."

Elsewhere, Helen Skelton and her partner Gorka Marquez achieved their first perfect score of the series with their Couple's Choice routine.

But it was ultimately Hamza and Jowita who lifted the coveted Glitterball Trophy at the end of the show.
