Nadiya: Bake Off still has recipe for success
GREAT British Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain has embraced the show’s move to Channel 4 amid speculation she could land a role in the new series.
Hussain, 31, has been tipped as a possible presenter or judge after Mary Berry, 81, Mel Giedroyc, 48, and Sue Perkins, 47, decided to stay at the BBC.
Hussain, who won the show in an emotional final in 2015, told BBC Breakfast: “Change happens. Change comes and, wherever it goes, whatever it does, I just want it to do well because it’s something I’ve spent the past six years watching.”
She admitted that the show’s hosts Perkins and Giedroyc were integral to the success of Bake Off.
She said: “They’re so important to the show. Every time I was falling apart they would come and say ‘it’s just cake you can do this’,” she said.
But Hussain added: “I’m all about change. It’s gone somewhere else. I don’t think we like change sometimes as humans. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that (change). Hopefully it will work somewhere else.”
