Just weeks after her Great British Bake Off victory, winner Nadiya Hussain has been enjoying her new found fame as she walked the red carpet at last night’s MOBO Awards.
The mum-of-three took a night off from baking delicious treats to attend the star-studded even in Leeds which celebrated the biggest names in hip hop, RnB and grime.
Nadiya walked the red carpet alongside husband Abdal, who garnered A LOT of attention when he appeared on the Bake Off finale.
Some GBBO fans dubbed Nadiya’s cute hubby as a ‘dream boat’ with many switching their attentions from heartthrob baker Tamal.
Speaking about her time on the show to the Telegraph, Nadiya recognised that her win had some significance to many people.
“It’s nice to be on a show where your skin colour or religion is incidental,” she said.
“Growing up, I didn’t see that many Muslims on TV and we don’t see many now. But essentially I am a mother and that’s the job I know best. For me, it’s important to instil in my children that they can do whatever they like, that no matter what their religion and colour, they can achieve what they want through hard work. And it’s nice to be able to do the same for a wider audience. If I have – amazing.”
