Nadiya Jamir Hussain[1] MBE (née Begum;[2] born 25 December 1984) is a British television chef,[3][4] author[5] and television personality.[6] She rose to fame after winning the sixth series of BBC's The Great British Bake Off in 2015.[7] Since winning, she has signed contracts with the BBC to host the documentary The Chronicles of Nadiya and TV cookery series Nadiya's British Food Adventure[8] and Nadiya's Family Favourites;[9] co-presented The Big Family Cooking Showdown;[10] and has become a regular contributor on The One Show.
Hussain is a columnist for The Times Magazine and has signed publishing deals with Penguin Random House,[11] Hodder Children's Books[12] and Harlequin.[13] She has appeared as a guest panellist on ITV's Loose Women.[14] She was invited to bake a cake for the 90th birthday celebrations of Elizabeth II.
In 2017, Hussain was named by Debrett's as one of the 500 most influential people in the UK[15] and was on BBC News' 100 Women list.[16] She was also shortlisted for Children's Book of the Year prize at the British Book Awards for Bake Me A Story[17] and was nominated for Breakthrough Star at the Royal Television Society Awards for The Chronicles of Nadiya.[18] Ted Cantle, the author of a government report on community cohesion, said Hussain had done "more for British-Muslim relations than 10 years of government policy".[19][20]
