The 33-year-old mum-of-three, who is one of Britain’s most high-profile Muslims having won the BBC’s Great British Bake-Off series in 2015, says her kids are confused by the hostility towards their religion in the UK.
Nadiya said My kids say Mummy, do people not like Muslims?
I claim to be British at the same time so I get abuse from every angle.
I’m never a good enough Muslim. I’m not a good enough Brit. I’m not a good enough Bangladeshi. I think three years ago I would have just sat there and taken it, not now, I’ll say something.
She tells Twitter followers about her religion and defends and explains Muslim practices to them in an attempt to make those who troll her more enlightened.
She observes Ramadan and fasts but says her three children, aged 7 to 11, are too young to. I think it’s a lovely thing that my kids are proud to be Muslim.
Labour-voting Hussain also says she finds Jeremy Corbyn endearing and is as you would expect is anti-Brexit.
Speaking in the Weekend magazine yesterday she said she recently turned down an offer to do Strictly but added that apart from variosu cookery prjects in the pipeline, she wouldn’t mind a shot at I’m a Celebrity.
The jungle would be fun. Iwould love to eat a lot of stuff that si disgusting, she laughs.
