Having earned the Hollywood handshake and going on to win the entire show, Bake Off seemed to come so naturally to Hussain.

However, it turns out that she was pretty anxious during filming.

In an interview with The Mirror, Hussain described the experience as "the most anxiety-inducing thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

She said: "I was petrified. But now when I meet people just like me, who haven’t had the confidence to do something, and they say, ‘Well, if you can do it, so can I.’ I know what I do means something. That’s what keeps me going. It makes me so happy.”

Since winning the competition, Hussain has published 16 cookbooks and stories in seven years.

Ranging from children's recipes and stories to family favourites and everyday baking.

In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Nadiya explained that she is so much more than "just a baker".

She continued: "I think it is really important, especially as women, to show that we are multifaceted, and to not be afraid of taking that leap into an environment that you don’t think you fit into. I jumped into a world that I thought had no space for me – and now I own it.”

Whatever it is Nadiya does next, we look forward to seeing!
