EXCLUSIVE Nadiya Hussain Breaks Silence on BBC Exit! The Truth About My Decade On TV
Nadiya Hussain breaks her silence after being axed by the BBC, and how being the “relatable Muslim” on TV came at the cost of her voice, her identity, and her mental health. In this exclusive conversation, the Great British Bake Off winner shares the truth about her decade in TV, what really happened behind the scenes and why she could no longer stay silent.
Known for her warmth and resilience, Nadiya reflects on what it really means to be a Muslim woman in British media – and why she now believes she was chosen to tick a box, not to be heard.
