Nadiya rules out return to Bake Off

TV chef Nadiya Hussain has dismissed rumours that she could be in line to take over from Prue Leith as judge on the Great British Bake Off.

The former show winner said she was enjoying her current projects too much. They have included presenting the Big Family Cooking Showdown, hosting Nadiya’s British Food Adventure and writing a novel and two cookery books.

Asked on the Jonathan Ross Show (ITV) about whether she would return to the show that first brought her fame, she said: “No.”
