Speaking on behalf of , body language expert Darren Stanton warned the star showed flashes of "fear".
He warned: "My gut instinct is that Hamza might be in the danger zone next week."
The wildlife presenter and partner Jowita Przystal are now one of just five couples left in the dance contest.
Darren explained: "Hamza wasn't at his usual level of sparkle this week and there were times when I observed him flash micro-expressions of fear.

"Micro-expressions only last for one fifth of a second and are almost imperceptible to the untrained eye.
"Gestures that display this include when the eye and mouth widen, and the eyebrows go up.
"This can potentially happen when a contestant may not have got a particular move or step correct, which causes an internal shift in emotion that leaks out to be observed.
"I think the pressure may be getting to Hamza - my gut instinct is that Hamza might be in the danger zone next week."

However, many Strictly voters have suggested that Hamza - a little known TV star before Strictly - has a good chance of surging to victory.
Unlike many stars the 32-year-old never had any dance experience or formal training before the show.
Several have hailed him for the much-feted "journey" many of the BBC hit's winners are seen to have taken in the past.
The Sun previously revealed that BBC bosses have already banked on Hamza's popularity with viewers - handing the star his own nature show.
A TV insider said: "He’s been nothing short of a sensation on Strictly this year, coming from being a virtual unknown to becoming a huge favourite among viewers and judges alike.
"That’s why he’s invariably been near the top of the scoreboard every week and has never been in the dance-off."
