Strictly winner hints at exciting baby plans and reveals ‘I am 100 per cent broody’
STRICTLY Come Dancing winner Hamza Yassin has revealed he is desperate to start a family but is too busy for dating.
The wildlife cameraman and CBeebies presenter said posing for photos with fans and their babies had made him broody.
Hamza, 33, who lives on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in the Highlands, rose to fame after winning the BBC dance contest in December alongside his partner Jowita Przystal.
He said he would love to have children but his busy work schedule is making finding a partner difficult.
He said: "I am 100 per cent broody. I'm broody in a nice way in that I would love to have a family one day.
"It's in the natural world. A silverback gorilla is a silverback because he wants to be the head of the family because he gets the pleasure of having offspring.
"I am too busy to be perfectly honest. I have loved a few people in my lifetime, some people agreed, some people didn't but that's part of life.
"I am hoping one day that I'll find somebody and settle down with little mini Hamzas."
He added: "If you catch me on a day when I'm feeling good then I'm okay being alone and then if you catch me on a bad day I'm going 'I wish there was someone here'.
"I'm okay being single at the moment trying to improve my life and my career.

“I don't want to go into anything that's incorrect and wrong and make a fool of myself and make a fool of whoever the lady is.
"I'm waiting for the right person to come along. If you're searching for them I think you look for the wrong things."
Speaking to presenter Rylan Clark on his How To Be A Man podcast, Hamza also said he took a traditional approach to dating and would always pay the bill.
He said: "I am a man who I believe was born in the wrong era. I think I should have been born in the 1920s or 1950s.
"I am so old-fashioned when it comes to a lot of things. If I'm dating I would not be 'Let's split this 50/50'. I'm paying for it.
"I wish we didn't have social media. I wish we were back in the 1950s when you walk into a pub, see a good looking woman in the corner and ask her if she would like a drink."
Hamza is currently working on a book and making a documentary called Hamza's Birds Of Prey which will see him travelling across the UK.
