Leeds Bake Off queen Nadiya ‘slowly bloomed’
Although not everyone supported that view, with @GeneGenieGene writing: “The Great British Bake Off is old, stale & stinks of BBC PC madness!”.
“I love Nadiya”, Ms. Janmohamed wrote in The Telegraph.
She also suggested that finalists Nadiya and Tamal only made it to the final because of the “PC triumph”. “I think people like it because it’s a competition but without all the drama and the sob stories, it’s just feel-good telly”.
“I accept the Nobel prize for peace at a moment when 22 million negroes of the United States of America are engaged in a creative battle to end the long night of racial injustice”, he said. “It’s so frustrating!” he complained to Nadiya.
Yet, in the infinite wisdom of the commentariat, everything about Nadiya’s presence on the hit show told us something deeply significant about the state of our nation.
In the final Nadiya took on Ian Cumming and Tamal Ray, both competitors failed to impress with mistakes made over their offering of buns. They’re her doubles it’s insane.
For the showstopper, the bakers were asked to create a classic British cake with at least three tiers. But they’re all at school now so I thought I’ve got to do something for me.
I hope that politicians will also learn from Nadiya’s example and accept that integration and a sense of belonging come about through natural respect, shared interests and a sense of ease.
Challney is where Nadiya, 30, now a full-time mum, first learned to bake, thanks to the inspiration of a certain Mrs Marshall.
She wowed the judges with her iced buns, millefeuille and patriotic Union Jack-themed wedding cake wrapped in a sari.
All Paul could do in reply was giggle. “He’s the full package for me”, she said before starting to cry. “This girl’s got it all, she’s had three kids and looks about 19”. You were our family’s fave from the start! “I love Mary Berry, she reminds me of the Queen and my gran, she’s so comforting”.
Nadiya, who has six siblings, grew up in Luton but now lives in Leeds with her husband of ten years Abdal, a technical manager for an IT company, and their children.
“I was absolutely exhausted before the last two days of filming, because I had done so much practice at home, but I felt I had given myself the best chance to fight for my place”.
The victory of Nadiya Jamir Hussain, a petite 30-year-old, head-scarf-wearing mother of three from northern England, in a wildly popular reality show called “The Great British Bake Off” on Wednesday has been greeted by many in Britain as a symbol of immigration success, at a moment when the country’s leaders, Mr. Cameron included, have expressed concerns that it has too many newcomers.
