Nadiya Hussain might start watching ‘The Great British Bake Off’ again because of Alison Hammond.
Nadiya Hussain is going to restart watching the Great British Bake Off for Alison Hammond
The ‘Nadiya Bakes’ star snagged victory on the beloved baking competition during its original run on BBC and hasn't really watched since her telly career soared to stratospheric sights but might tune into the show - which has since moved to Channel 4 and swapped out Mary Berry, 88, for Prue Leith, 83, while Paul Hollywood, 57, remained - now that the ‘This Morning’ presenter, 48, has replaced Matt Lucas, 49, hosting the show alongside Noel Fielding, 50.
The 38-year-old TV star told Metro.co.uk: "I don’t watch now but I may have a sneak peek this year because Alison Hammond is on it.
“‘I think she’s an amazing presenter. She’s got a lot to give, and she will bring something very new and fresh to the show. It’ll be lovely to watch that.”
Nadiya - who has sons Musa, 17, Dawud, 15 and daughter Maryam, 13, with her husband Abdal, 41 - “might” be up for helping Alison present the sweet treatment contest.
She said: “If there was an offer maybe I’d do it. It depends where I am in my life, if it’s something I want to do, or not want to do. I’m not saying no, but I’m not saying yes.
“I would probably have to be a judge as I’d be an awful host because I would want to taste everything and get involved in the assessing. I would struggle not to.
I am who I am because of everything that happened after Bake Off. Apart from when I’m really anxious, I’m generally quite confident.
“If I was participating now, I would be a lot louder.”
The ‘Simple Spice’ star- who endeared audiences to hear after her viral winning speech about never doubting herself and her abilities ever again - admitted seeing it again took her “right back” to 2015 win.
“It takes me right back to that moment. I get a trembling lip.
Anybody who watched my show from start to finish come on that journey with me, and it’s something that I think lots of people resonated with. I think lots of people know it was less about baking and more about me as a person.”
