Strictly Come Dancing stars Hamza Yassin and Jowita Pryzstal have reunited once again, two years after winning the BBC competition in 2022.
Hamza, 34, and Jowita, 29, took to Instagram on Thursday evening to celebrate being reunited once again, two years on from winning Strictly as they beamed alongside one another in a wholesome photo. Jowita is currently on the Strictly Come Dancing tour with her co-stars, and Hamza surprised his former professional partner before it kicked off as he brought her a sweet surprise backstage in the form of her favourite chocolates.
The pair friendship appears to be solid again after a rocky patch when Jowita was dating her co-star, Giovanni Pernice. At the time, CBeebies presenter and wildlife cameraman Hamza was rumoured to have fallen for his professional dance partner Jowita while the pair were competing on the show before they ultimately went on to lift the coveted Glitterball trophy together.
However, reports at the time claimed that Hamza was left heartbroken when Jowita started dating her co-star Giovanni , 34.

A source said at the time: "Hamza and Jowita became very close and at times were quite touchy-feely. People would often see them sneak off together. But while Jowita thinks the world of him, she held back from anything romantic and kept him slightly at arm’s length."
The insider added that when it became clear that she was involved with Giovanni, the reason for her keeping her distance became clear. "While Hamza wants her to be happy, he was quietly devastated," they told The Sun.
