Great British Bake Off champion Nadiya Hussain has publicly criticised the BBC after her cooking show was abruptly cancelled. The beloved baker claims the broadcaster coldly informed her she was 'no use to them anymore'.
In a candid interview, the 2015 Bake Off winner revealed her shock at the sudden axing of her programme, which had been well-received by audiences. 'It was brutal,' Hussain stated. 'One minute you're part of the family, the next you're told you're not needed.'
Rising Star to 'No Use'
Hussain, who became a household name after her emotional Bake Off victory, had developed several successful shows for the BBC including 'Nadiya's British Food Adventure' and 'Nadiya's Family Favourites'. Her abrupt departure raises questions about the broadcaster's commitment to diverse voices in food programming.
BBC's Changing Priorities
Industry insiders suggest the cancellation reflects shifting priorities at the BBC rather than any lack of talent from Hussain. A source close to the production team commented: 'There's been a clear move towards more competitive formats recently. Nadiya's warm, family-friendly style doesn't fit their current direction.'
The BBC has yet to issue an official statement regarding Hussain's claims. Meanwhile, fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with many calling for the broadcaster to reconsider its decision.
