Nadiya Hussain has revealed that the BBC has cancelled her cooking show after ten years on our screens in a 'really difficult' blow.

The 40 year old, who won the sixth series of The Great British Bake Off in 2015, opened up about the 'changes in her career' in a recent Instagram post.

After winning the cooking programme, Nadiya bagged herself a number of television shows with the Beeb, including Nadiya's Asian Odyssey, Nadiya's Cook Once Eat Twice and Nadiya's Time to Eat. 

The series had different iterations which included others such as Nadiya's British Good Adventure and Nadiya's Fast Flavours.  

Hussain told her 950k followers: 'One huge change is that there will be no cookery show. 

'There will be no more cookery show. The BBC have decided that they didn't want to commission the show. 

'And for me, that was a huge turning point for me because it's something I've done for the past 10 years.

'It was huge, I was already on this steady trajectory of change and I was thinking about where I wanted my career to go.

'And when the BBC decided they didn't want to commission the show anymore, it really did kind of solidify everything for me, and it made me dig my heels in and think 'OK, I know where I want to be".'

Speaking about her experience in the industry, she added: 'And actually, it's really difficult as a Muslim woman. I work in an industry tat doesn't always support people like me or recognise my talent or my full potential. 

'And as a lot gaslighting and making you feel like what's actually happening isn't happening. 

'So for me it's been a huge, huge, huge change for me. But it's one that I am really excited about. 

'One that I want to move in a positive direction and ultimately I want to work with people who believe in voices of people like me.'

 She captioned the post: 'Just a hello from me!

'Thank you to everyone for being on this journey with me, and I hope you can continue to stay on this journey with me.
