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.

Nadiya Hussain launches another blistering attack on the BBC

Nadiya Hussain has launched another blistering attack on the BBC after previously claiming she'd been axed due to racism in the 'broken' TV industry.

Why are people assuming it has anything to do with what she wears? Anything to do with audiences finding that difficult to view?

Maybe she just became a difficult little prima donna to work with and that and falling viewing figures finished off her TV career.

Very few women in this country, as a proportion of the population, wear a hijab. Why are people surprised when very few TV presenters wear a hijab?

I don’t get it either.
Plus, didn’t people watch her show for years?
If viewers had been put off by her head coverings, wouldn’t her show have been axed ages ago?

I do think to an extent cookery programs do feature alcohol e.g. wine pairing or an acknowledgment that often people drink with meals. To have successive cookery programs without alcohol mentioned maybe does not appeal to the broadest possible base.

Keith Floyd did more then just 'pair' wines with food. 😂

Onmytod24 · 17/03/2026 08:29

how many cookery programs have there been on the last 10 years and how many are now not running ?

Stop trying to link it with something that just confirms your own worldview

I remember that crooked cake she did for The Queen. She still did cookery programmes after that! I think any other baker would have had that sent back to redo.

I just googled it, goodness me,that really is quite shoddy.

Really? Why? She has had a very good run as OP says. I believe her last cook book was on Islamic cuisine, which may not appeal to a wider audience. I imagine anyone who does Islamic cooking is already pretty expert.

What is Islamic cuisine? I will answer that for you. There is no such thing. The variations in food between Muslim countries is huge. I can’t stand the way people lump Muslims into one big cultural pot.

Yes. Compare the hot curries of Bangladesh with the aromatic herby food of Turkey for a start!

Literally what the book says its a quote not an insult

Her book Rooza actually says on the cover that it's a journey through Islamic cuisine, so perhaps you should tell Nadiya.

It's a 'cancel the cheque' moment

DurinsBane · 18/03/2026 13:00

To look at it another way, maybe because she is a Muslim woman of colour helped her get a TV career for a decade, unlike nearly all other Bake Off winners…..

Poparts · 18/03/2026 17:22

I don’t think she can put it down to being Muslim. She’s had 10 years on TV.

I think she’s had a good run but it’s over. Before bake off Mary Berry had been off our screens for years.

The difference is that Nadia will never be back on screens because she is so whingey and negative.

Aah now I understand the comment! Sorry I hadn’t RTFT but I just wanted to put my twopence in about that particular point.

She spoke up the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. You're not allowed to speak up against the genocidal apartheid state. It's as simple as that. She was silenced like many before her.

Hi, Nadia... I really value the opinion of TV cooks regarding world affairs.
Thanks...

wishingyouwell · 19/03/2026 14:47

Absolutely not @LoyalMember someone who has culinary talent can also call out a genocide. Everyone with a shred of humanity in them should call out the genocidal apartheid state of Israel for its heinous crimes against humanity.

Right, we don't need Nadia, we've got you.

wishingyouwell · 19/03/2026 15:27

@LoyalMember disgustingly dismissive of a genocide.
I hope you find some humanity in this lifetime.

wishingyouwell · 19/03/2026 16:24

@LoyalMember you don't want anyone to criticise the genocidal apartheid state of Israel either.
Dear oh dear...
