The 32-year-old was sporting a tartan kilt and a waistcoat for the performance, and fans were quick to notice a slight wardrobe malfunction during the dance. 

"Love Hamza's enthusiasm on #strictly but the camera angle was unfortunate given the initial shots under the kilt," wrote one fan on Twitter, while another added: "Hamza needs to learn the basics of wearing a kilt... keep your legs shut if you are seated," dropping a laughing face emoji. 

A third person tweeted: "Oh lol Hamza. We all know what's worn under the kilt now," while another wrote: "Hamza showing us what is kept up a kilt."

Judge Craig Revel-Horwood agreed, telling the presenter: "You were very brave, darling, wearing a kilt in a Charleston."

The dance earned Hamza an impressive score of 39 out of 40 from the judges, and after scoring a 37 for his Waltz, he landed the top spot on the leaderboard. 

The humble presenter couldn't help but shed a tear following his Waltz after judge Motsi Mabuse praised his incredible lifts. 

"You've lifted the level of lifts on Strictly," she said.
