    I had never seen or heard of Hamza before Strictly. As soon as he opened his mouth I realised what a beautiful soul he has. He is a gentle gentleman. I think he is a lovely guy🥰

    I shouldn't imagine that first bit of advice would have been very hard for him. Don't everyones eyes light up when they see him coming. He's an absolute darling.

    His authenticity and love for what he does is palpable, as is his deep love and appreciation for Bangor university.
    I had to chuckle that Hamza actually referenced a choreographer as a
    guiding light for how he lives his life , and now he's currently wowing us in Strictly Come Dancing!!!

    My girls (and I) love Let’s Go For A Walk, Ranger Hamza is so good at educating youngsters on the natural world and the importance of protecting and respecting nature. I’m sure he’ll go on to even more amazing things, he has a similar passion and presence as the National treasure that is Sir Attenborough, hopefully one day Hamza will be recognised for his efforts to educate the next generation ♥️

    I adore this man, he's so humble and what a wonderful profession Hamza had chosen, working and living in the remotest places in Scotland. I had seen a few of his films on country file chasing the eagles and otters. Such a great speech and so true - follow your dream. I voted for him every week on Strictly and such a deserved winner as two of the finalists had got musicality in them but Hamza and Helen no dance experience whatsoever. I love you Hamza, hope you read these comments some day, and see how much everyone thinks and admires you. Keep doing what you love. I put you in the same top box as Sir Peter Scott and Sir David Attenborough

  • @alisonwilliams5355

    I have watched Hamza on country file + other wildlife programmes & always admired the way he quietly gives information. It was only when he appeared on Strictly that I & thousands of others found out more about him. He is such an unassuming, quiet soul, a real gentleman. His speech reflects that with some great advise. Congratulations Hamza, well deserved. 👏👏👏

    How is it possible to be even more impressed by this wonderfully humble man . . . but I am. I'm just another who stumbled upon Hamza via Strctly Come Dancing and was amazed at his grace and his hair; but hearing him speak and seeing the light in his eyes over the weeks has got me wanting to know more about this man. Who would be a better heir to be handed over the torch from Sir David Attenborough than this young man. 👏👏👏
