Nadiya Hussain, Former Great British Bake Off Winner, Criticizes BBC Over Cooking Show Cancellation and Reveals Childhood Sexual Abuse

Nadiya Hussain, the former winner of the Great British Bake Off, has publicly addressed the BBC's decision not to commission a new cooking show from her for the first time since 2016. Hussain criticized the broadcaster for providing no definitive reason behind the cancellation of her show. In addition to discussing her professional challenges with the BBC, Hussain revealed a personal account of child sexual abuse by a relative when she was five years old, an experience she said caused her to vomit upon realizing it during a sex education class. The broadcaster's lack of transparency regarding the show's axing has prompted Hussain to speak out, expressing frustration that the BBC's actions have left her vulnerable.
