Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain reveals her grandfather was 'left for dead three times' during years of horrific racist abuse
Great British Bake Off star, Nadiya Hussain, has revealed her grandfather was racially abused by thugs and was 'left for dead three times'.
It comes after the award-winning chef had to install panic buttons in her home in Milton Keynes after receiving death threats including to her three children - Musa, 12, Dawud, 11, and Mariam, eight. Ms Hussain's appearance and ensuing popularity on the Great British Bake Off has been credited as an important step toward shifting stereotypes about the Muslim community and acceptance of cultural diversity. After amassing a large following on social media, her fans described themselves as Nadiyators and have supported her flourishing career from a BBC One travelogue show, The Chronicles of Nadiya, to various columns in the food supplements of magazines.
