The motion

That the Parliament celebrates the success of Hamza Yassin on being crowned Strictly Come Dancing winner 2022; understands that the TV presenter and cameraman impressed judges week in, week out, alongside dancing partner Jowita Przystal during the 2022 competition, eventually coming out on top of his competitors, and lifting the famous Strictly Come Dancing glitterball trophy; notes that Yassin, who was born in Sudan, has lived in Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan peninsula for 11 years, and is a regular face on Countryfile, Animal Park, and CBeebies, and has presented a number of other wildlife shows; believes that Yassin received significant public support throughout the competition, particularly after performing an Afrobeats-inspired dance, with dance schools and studios across the UK reporting an uptake in interest in this genre of dance classes, and praising his impact; congratulates Hamza Yassin on what it considers this significant achievement and all his hard work, and wishes him the very best of luck in the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour, which commences January 2023.
