Hamza sparks Strictly feud rumours as he unfollows Giovanni amid Jowita romance
A Strictly Come Dancing fallout may be brewing behind closed doors after it appears Hamza Yassin has unfollowed Giovanni Pernice on social media.
The 32-year-old is fresh off the back of a roaring Strictly success on the 2022 series, which saw him raise the Glitterball trophy alongside professional dance partner Jowita Przystal.
However, Hamza has reportedly been left 'brokenhearted' by Jowita after it was revealed she is dating fellow Strictly pro Giovanni.
Hamza now appears to have unfollowed Giovanni, 32, following reports of the Italian dancer’s romance with Jowita.
It appears Hamza could have fallen for his professional dancing partner whilst the pair spent hours in rehearsals.

However, Jowita has been secretly dating professional dancer and 2021 winner Giovanni Pernice as the loved-up couple were pictured kissing backstage.
While the Strictly couple's romance is hotting up, it is said to have left Jowita's wildlife photographer partner Hamza saddened as he reportedly wanted to see if their friendship could be something more.
A source told The Sun: “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.”
