Nadiya’s family recipe

BAkE oFF’s darling Nadiya Hussain has suffered crippling panic attacks since she was seven. ‘sometimes my monster shouts in my face, other days I can put him in my pocket. He’s always there,’ she says.

Nadiya, 32, was prescribed drugs but said they deadened her emotions. ‘What’s the point of not feeling anything?’ Instead, she had her family, husband and children to keep her centred. How refreshing in an age when many people seem to rely on medication to cure everything.
