💨 Abstract

Nadiya Hussain believes her BBC cookery show wasn't recommissioned because she didn't fit their "neutral" mold. She felt pressured to be a "tick box exercise," aligning with their image of a relatable Muslim woman. She admitted to feeling grateful for opportunities, which added pressure to not voice her frustrations. She mentions how the BBC asked her to say she chose to leave for different projects, which she found dishonest.
