Where Does Bake Off Winner Nadiya Hussain Keep Her Trophy?

We can’t believe it’s been a year since Nadiya Hussain was crowned the 2015 Great British Bake Off champ. Since winning the BBC series Nadiya’s career has skyrocketed, with book deals and TV appearances.

She even landed the gig of baking the Queen’s 90th birthday cake. What an honour.

So you’d think that her trophy for winning the popular baking contest would be sitting pride of place in her house? Wrong!

The mum-of three has admitted her trophy is still in its box and has been for the past year.

As she has struggled to find a place in her Buckingham home worthy of such an award, Nadiya, 31, said: ‘It’s in a box in the conservatory, it has been almost a year and I still haven’t found a place for it.’

And to make matters worse, Nadiya’s hunky husband Abdal, 34, often pranks her, by hiding her cherished trophy every now and again.

Nadiya said: ‘[He] knows how much I love that trophy. Last week I packed it in a box, opened the box to check it was still there and he’d moved it. He knew I’d check that it wasn’t broken.’

Nadiya asked her husband of twelve years, who only met once before they wed: ‘What have you done with my trophy?’

He told her: 'I don’t know what you’re talking about.’

She revealed: ‘He moves it around on purpose.’

It’s been a whirlwind year for Nadiya, who balances her busy career around caring for her three children, Musa, nine, eight-year-old Dawud and Maryam, five.

She published her own cookbook entitled Nadiya’s Kitchen earlier this summer and is back on our TV screens this week, fronting her own two-part BBC series Chronicles Of Nadiya, which sees the Luton-born baker exploring her family’s roots in Bangladesh and visiting her family’s village to dish out her delicious cakes.
