"I don't fit that space any more" – Nadiya Hussain reveals how she's becoming the 'truest, most honest version' of herself after BBC exit

Nadiya Hussain wears an orange dress and turquoise hijab, sitting among plants and an orange fabric backdrop.

Nadiya Hussain has spoken out for the first time since her shows on the BBC were cancelled, revealing how she’s ready to release the “digestible” and “muzzled” personality she was encouraged to be on TV and step into a more “honest” version of herself.

It’s been a decade since we were introduced to Nadiya Hussain on the Great British Bake Off and in that time she’s made countless programmes for the BBC. Watching her, it’s impossible not to love her bubbly personality and envious baking skills, so it was a surprise for everyone when her shows were cancelled and she suddenly wasn’t on our screens any more.
