Nadiya Hussain

Since winning 2015's Great British Bake Off in a finale watched by over 13 million viewers, Nadiya Hussain has become a national treasure. She has presented several of her own BBC2 cookery series to great acclaim, with episodes reaching on average 1.9 million viewers each week. Her next cookery series, Nadiya's Fast Flavours, will air on BBC2 in autumn 2021, accompanied by her brand new TV tie-in cookbook. Her series have also been shown internationally on Netflix and her cookbooks have so far been published into the USA, Germany and the Netherlands, with more territories expected to follow. Nadiya's other projects have included several standalone travelogue TV programmes, a series of childrens books and a memoir, a reporting role for The One Show, a range of cookware and several partnerships with major brands. Nadiya writes a regular column for The Times and has become recognised as a commentator on mental health after opening up about her own struggles with anxiety. Born in Luton to British Bangladeshi parents, Nadiya now lives in Milton Keynes with her husband, Abdal, and their three teenage children. She was recently awarded an MBE for services to broadcasting and the culinary arts. Her previous cookery titles include Nadiya's Kitchen, Nadiya's British Food Adventure, Nadiya's Family Favourites, Time to Eat and Nadiya Bakes.
