Strictly star Hamza Yassin makes ‘rescue’ while filming for It Takes Two

So adorable!

Strictly star Hamza Yassin put his wildlife skills to good use this week at the BBC.

Hamza was busy filming the Strictly spin-off It Takes Two earlier this morning when a bird crisis caught his attention.

It turns out a bird had managed to find itself trapped at BBC studios.

But fear not, as Hamza was ready and eager to jump in and help out.

Strictly star Hamza Yassin comes to the rescue at the BBC

A video clip was posted on Instagram that said: “So we are at It Takes Two and there was a little rescue this morning.

“There was a robin that was stuck in a window. They managed to call me in. We’ve got him and we’re just about to release him back into the wild.

“But let me show you a cool trick beforehand.”

Hamza then cradled the robin in his hand and added: “So one way of releasing birds, if you put the bird on their back like this, and gently hold out, they think you’ve still got them. And that’s how it’s done.”

Hamza is hugely passionate about the animal kingdom.

Earlier this year, he said on Instagram: “Animals make us understand the planet differently.

“Whether we regard them as some of the most dangerous creatures or see them as some of the cutest things ever. If we take the time to learn to understand them, they will change our way of thinking and behaving towards Mother Nature.”
