Strictly fans share fears for Hamza
Cast your mind back to the second elimination of the series, which saw Richie Anderson and Giovanni Pernice exit the show.
They danced a samba to a Hakuna Matata from The Lion King.
It saw them dance wearing padded Lion King-themed onesies and crash out of the competition.
Now, with Musicals Week approaching, the song choices, movies and dances have been revealed.
And Hamza is doing a samba to a song from The Lion King.
Sound familiar? Well fans of the wildlife presenter are hoping that Giovanni and Richie’s fate doesn’t befall Hamza and Jowita.

Fans react to this week’s routine
“Hamza and a Lion King samba. Richie did that for Movies Week,” said one.
“Really? The Lion King again? Kinda thought Hamza might be Dr Doolittle,” said another.
“Lion King in movie week AND musicals week? Not very imaginative,” slammed another.
Others issued a plea to the BBC costume department.
“Sorry I’m not trying to be rude about the costumes but please do not dress Hamza and Jowita in Poundland onesies like you did with Richie and Gio,” said one.
Others shared fears for Hamza.
“Hamza needs to up his game for a samba – he was average last week despite what Shirley and Mosti said,” declared one.
“They live in you from The Lion King FOR A SAMBA? That a reach and a half even for Strictly standards. That’s a ballroom song,” said another sharing their fears.
“Both He Lives in You from the Lion King and Hamza are my favourites but how is this going to be done well with Samba?! Good luck with the choreo Jowita,” said another.
Strictly star Hamza in costume drama?
Others said they were looking forward to the routine, “as long as they’re not given ‘novelty’ costumes”.
“Praying to the Strictly gods that Vicky Gill makes the right choices this week with costumes” said one.
“I am begging Vicky Gill to incinerate the Lion King onesies and not pass them onto Hamza and Jowita,” another said.
