GBBO’s Nadiya Hussain Addresses The Queen’s ‘Cakegate’ Controversy

Inspirational Woman 2015 aka The Great British Bake Off’s Nadiya Hussain has spoken out about the criticisms she received for baking the Queen’s ‘wonky’ 90th birthday cake the other week.

Or as we like to call it – Cakegate.

Speaking to the ladies of Loose Women, Nadiya shrugged off the haters, and said that she 'couldn’t care less’ about what people thought of the cake.

“If I cared about every little thing people say or that kind of negativity, I don’t think I would be able to leave my house,”

“So do you know what? I couldn’t care less!“

She also admitted that Lizzy herself didn’t seem too bothered by the cake’s slightly lop-sided nature – and even took a piece of it home with her.

"Well, she took the top tier home with her. She had a visit from the Obamas the next day so maybe she gave them some.”

High praise indeed.

Nadiya Hussain’s career has gone from strength-to-strength since she was crowned the more-than-worthy winner of 2015′s Great British Bake-Off.

Having secured her own column in The Times Magazine and cooked the Queen’s 90th birthday cake, Nadiya is now set to explore her new culinary roots in a new TV documentary.

‘The Chronicles of Nadiya’ (amazing name we know) will follow the Bake-Off star’s ‘exurberant’ culinary journey from her home town in Luton to her family village in the north east of Bangladesh.

In the two-part programme, produced the Love Productions, Nadiya will cook dishes from her childhood, share her favourite meals with family and friends, meet people as passionate about food as she is and learn new recipes, as well as exploring changes in the country’s food.

She last visited ten years ago for her wedding.
