I think this woman needs her to realise her star has fallen like a lot of minor celebs. She has had a good run and everything has did was tired. New cookery blood should be allowed a chance.

I thinks it's undignified to start accusing her erstwhile employers of racism.

An old one but...

TV chef Antony Worrall Thompson caught shoplifting cheese and wine

The Ready Steady Cook star was arrested and cautioned by police at a Tesco store in Henley-on-Thames

Nonsense. She lives in a modest home in Milton Keynes. Hardly the blow it all away lifestyle.

Agree. I think she’s perhaps done the best of all of them? There’s the chap on the professional cake one on channel four, Rahul had a peak, candice i remember.

She had a great career kick started by Bake Off. In the article she's quoted as saying that she told bosses 'these are the people I don't want to work with anymore' so she was trying to cull staff that she decided didn't have the right focus for her.

She is a great cook, but doesn't have the mass appeal needed if you're going to start demanding people are sacked, which is basically what she did. If she had great viewing figures, and demanded a hand picked team she probably would have got it. She's also talking openly about how she can't even hear the Bake Off theme tune without getting highly stressed, so it sounds like she has lots of issues to work through.

Likewise, I have never seen him say that, I’m a huge Rick stein fan and have watched a lot of his stuff. I’ve have seen him apologising for the dull filming, where they are filming in a tiny place and the camera man and Rick can’t fit in type thing, so you don’t see it up close, but about the food? No

Come on, going from being a TV star to a TA as a route to a stable career as teacher is very telling. It’s not like going from being on TV to setting up on YouTube (like Delia). Perhaps her husband has lost his job or something.

I'm not a fan of cookery shows. Rick Stein is the only one I've ever stopped on while channel surfing; he's the only one who has ever 'caught' me. Probably because I share his fundamental approach that the best food is not overly complicated, quality of ingredients is the key.

What do AWT shop lifting and Gregg Wallace sexually harassing women got to do with Nadiya?

Why should a young brown Muslim woman suffer the effects of older white men being twats?

Given that she did so well after winning Bake off, making millions and becoming famous, it's quite churlish for her to slag off publicly the very organisation that enabled her to achieve all of that. She just does come across as entitled, quite the opposite of being discriminated against I'd say. I have to admit i never bought any of her books, or watch her programmes, she seemed to be one of those media celebrities whose face was everywhere for quite a long time, which i always find irritating and try to avoid. Plainly the BBC isn't always fair in it's treatment of women, but i think this is not that in her case. I think people are just bored now. And kicking off and pleading vulnerability isn't helping her I'd say. She's been very lucky.

Oh I think I remember that one

I mean if you're going to shop lift something then make it cheese and wine for sure!

Ah apologies I see he did start off working in restaurants. I don’t consider him in the same league as the other chefs mentioned though. He’s certainly never opened a decent restaurant of his own.

I can’t imagine she’s made millions - probably good enough to pay off her mortgage - maybe family mortgages

He had a chain of restaurants and Fifteen in Cornwall!

Having just looked on Amazon all her books seem to be £15 plus. There are a couple of special offers where 2 of her books are paired with another cook/chef. I'm wondering if any are really selling well.

Estimates of her net worth are between £3.7m and £5m due to TV, book deals, endorsements and her own social media.

She's got a million Insta followers. I bet she could get more product deals if she wanted. Mostly she seems to just endorse her own stuff, which I respect, but perhaps there's other avenues too.

That does sound good, I like that approach too.

I don’t really do cookery shows but if I were to rate a cook book name it’d be Julia Child.

She has published six cookbooks that were tied in with her several cooking programmes. She has made guest appearances on numerous other TV shows, has her own website, has written for various newspapers as well as having nearly 900,000 Instagram followers that she can monetise. Apparently she has netted £5 million quid along the way. Not bad for a self taught cook who got a break as a contestant on a TV show.

He's had a lot of restaurants, a lot of the companies formed to hold them went bust though. He's just opened some more a few years back

Not everyone is good at everything I suppose.

Someone was asking for examples of TV chefs who got involved in a scandal.

Wow! I’m surprised but then she did get a lot of endorsements which I imagine are quite lucrative.

I don't really get this.

They didn't ask for participants to write their names on a list and then put a pin in it. She entered a competition, at a time when it was pretty hard to even get into that competition. And then she won.

I'm sure there's an element of luck; there is with most things in life. But she obviously worked hard during that competition and afterwards, so why do you think she has a duty to soft-soap the BBC if she genuinely feels that their treatment of her was racist?

Should the women on Masterchef who got harrassed by Wallace also put up and shut up, because they were lucky enough to have had the chance to be on TV?

Prob of zero interest, but, I haven’t a clue who this person is.

😂

Agree she must have made good money.

But I do think people who say she's just a self-taught cook done good are being sexist.

No one tells Heston Blumenthal and Raymond Blanc that they got a lucky break, even though they are also self taught cooks.
