Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain says she ‘won't be grateful' following BBC cooking show axe
has spoken out following the cancellation of her BBC cooking show, delivering a powerful response to critics who told her to be 'grateful'.
The Great British Bake Off winner has enjoyed a 10-year relationship with the broadcaster following her win in 2015, producing a range of cooking shows including Nadiya's Food Adventures and Nadiya's Time to Eat.
However, after announcing that the decade-long collaboration had come to an end earlier this month, Hussain has now responded to 'tonnes of messages' she received from fans telling her to be 'thankful'.
In an Instagram video posted on Thursday (26 June), Hussain spoke of her experiences growing up in an immigrant household: 'Gratitude became something that I was expected to wear like a uniform. Anytime I voiced frustration or sadness or wanted more, I could feel the invisible pressure.'
'I am allowed to feel more than just thankful. I am a human being, and I am allowed to feel angry when I'm treated unfairly.'

All aboard magical canoe that carries voices of land and loss
Canadian First Nations elder Cecil Paul's canoe is, of course, a metaphorical one, evocatively described in his seminal Stories From The Magic Canoe Of Wa'xaid. Cecil cautions before we set out from Kitamaat in British Columbia: 'The currents against it are very strong, but I believe we can reach that destination, and this is the reason for our survival.' Cecil's own survival – and his inspiring fortitude and forgiveness – verges on the miraculous. Born in the Kitlope, he was ripped from his parents and community in an attempt to 'Canadianise' him. Under a Canadian apartheid, he was imprisoned for sitting in a theatre seat not designated for 'Indians'. Battles with alcoholism and other demons descended, before Cecil found redemption in the battle he inspired to save the Kitlope – which he described as 'the largest unlogged temperate rainforest in the world' – from development. His canoe sent ripples around the world. READ MORE: Scottish ice cream parlour known for its 'Italian craftsmanship' among UK's best My journey with Cecil begins by the Crab River. Here the MV Swell, our expedition boutique small cruise ship, crosses from traditional Haisla territory into the Xenaksiala lands where Cecil was born. Maple Leaf Adventures ( are deeply sensitive and respectful with First Nations culture, our onboard naturalist Ethan Browne performing a small ceremony as we enter. Canadian Ethan explains, 'The special place we are going to is no doubt a beautiful part of British Columbia, but it really only comes alive in the cultural context of the First Nations, who have called this place home since time immemorial.' I think I'm ready for the Kitlope, but no-one really is. I finish Cecil's book as we overnight at the mouth of the river. I wasn't ready for how triggering it is. His descriptions of being hit by teachers for speaking his native tongue echo with my schooling when I was slapped with a ruler for speaking Scots. Also pinging my synapses is the familiarity of the vast, arresting beauty of the Kitlope. This elemental landscape of vaulting mountains, tree-shrouded emerald slopes and cobalt waters transcends Sir David Attenborough's purring in a BBC documentary. It also looks a lot like Scotland's Great Glen. The similarities in the struggles of those who lived here before the British Empire descended are even more striking. Tales of people being torn from their homes and families devastated are all too familiar to a Scot. The arduous struggles to retain language, culture and a semblance of dignity painfully so. I wake early to finish Cecil's book on deck as a bald eagle fights his own battles with a dozen haranguing gulls in a corner of Canada alive with flora and fauna. Then we are off, 11 passengers and six crew. Half of the crew have never been up this ultra-remote river. All aboard feel privileged to be here as we leave the cocoon of our luxurious ship to forge upriver through currents, logs and ghosts on a brace of small RIBs. And we all fear we might not make the lake as the river becomes shallower and shallower. The journey is a testing one for the crew battling the shallows and currents, but spectacular too. The hills close in more and more as we feel smaller and smaller. Then we sight a local, the beloved animal the First Nations peoples see as a guardian of the forest. Bears occupy the foundation rung of the replica G'psgolox totem pole we see on the left bank of the river, supporting everything else. Cecil fought hard to have the original totem pole returned from Sweden. It looks like we won't make the lake, though, as the water level plunges below two feet. Perilous for a propeller. But then, just as the rain eases, six hours after setting off from the mouth of the river, what Cecil called 'the theatre' unfurls in all its glory. Imagine Loch Ness with no villages, no houses and no hulking electricity pylons. Kitlope Lake proves as magical as the canoe that has brought us here. We raft up together in the cobalt waters of this breathtaking natural amphitheatre. Ethan reads from the book about bathing your eyes and ears in the water so that you may see life afresh, becoming kinder to others on your unique life journey. We share the experience of cleansing in the cool water, then reflect in the Kitlope's deafening silence. Cecil felt the Kitlope's raw natural power – 'Our people say that you will not leave that place unchanged … something touches you.' It does. I head downstream with a greater respect and deeper knowledge of the First Nations people and of the beauty of this wild and wildly beautiful corner of British Columbia. I also hear the distant ghosts of the Scottish Highlands blowing in the Kitlope breeze. And I think of people who have been stripped of their lands – and dignity – the world over.

Douglas Maxwell's touching dog-walker play fetches more plaudits
The winning plays – The Sheriff Of Kalamaki (2023-24) and So Young (2024-25) – speak to the profound humanism, the insightful humour and the poetic sensibility in his writing. So, too, does Man's Best Friend – a piece originally written for the lunchtime theatre A Play, A Pie And A Pint – which is now being staged in a new, slightly longer version by the Tron. In this cleverly-structured monodrama, the excellent Jordan Young takes on the role of Ronnie, a young man from Edinburgh who resides in Glasgow, but never quite feels that he belongs there. A professional dog walker, he stumbled into his line of work almost accidentally while walking his own dog during the Covid pandemic. READ MORE: 'Completely unprecedented': BBC cuts live feed for Kneecap Glastonbury performance In the play's very funny first half, Ronnie wanders around designer Becky Minto's ingenious, quasi-abstract set (which manages to evoke simultaneously the paths and hills of Ronnie's walks and the solitary domesticity of his home life). As he does so, he regales us with hilarious tales of the trials and tribulations of walking five dogs attached to the 'central belt'; the dog-walking device he created and which he wears around his waist. Ronnie's encounters with a macho dog trainer and a hippy-ish animal lover are a source of tremendous comedy. So, too, are the dog walker's embarrassed recollections of the incident in which one of the pooches in his care managed to ingest a significant quantity of a well-known energy drink (the consequences of which would be best described as scatological). As Ronnie introduces us to his five charges – Albert (his own dog), Coriander, Fury, Carlos and Rex – illustrator Ross Collins offers us charming canine animations which are projected cleverly onto the set. To synopsise the second half of the play in any detail would be to commit a crime of spoiling so grave as to merit one being dragged through park mud by five energetic mutts. Suffice it to say that a dramatic, dog-related discovery takes Ronnie – and us, the theatre audience – into an emotional space that is radically different from the light-heartedness of the play's opening section. As Ronnie recalls two parallel stories of love and loss, the almost forensically empathetic dimension in Maxwell's writing comes to the fore. The turn in the narrative is executed to great dramatic effect, not only in the author's writing and Young's compelling performance, but also in Minto's set, which (with the help of Grant Anderson's superb lighting design) is transformed powerfully. Director Jemima Levick's production is sensitive and precise in equal measure. Patricia Panther's sound and music are appropriately atmospheric. What begins as a humorous monologue about professional dog walking ends as a touching and hopeful play about our collective experience of Covid and the universal experience of grief.

Woman sets up her tent to make sure working-class voices are heard
Rents of £7000 for one bedroom in a shared flat for a month has made Narin Özenci shell out for a tent so she can bring her one-woman show to the city. She told the Sunday National that she wasn't going to let the high costs put her off staging her show, Inner Child(ish), as she felt too many working-class voices were being forced out of the Fringe because of the expense. 'I don't know how anyone can justify £7000 for one room for a month,' said Özenci, who has autism. 'You hardly see any working-class people there now because of the costs. That has driven me to do it even more as I want to help represent the working class.' READ MORE: 'Completely unprecedented': BBC cuts live feed for Kneecap Glastonbury performance Özenci first appeared at the Fringe in 2014, creating a stir by performing her show in her car. 'I could only squeeze in four or five people at a time but it got good feedback and Mark Watson came to interview me for BBC2's Edinburgh Nights,' she said. As she no longer owns a car, she will have to lug her tent to Edinburgh via public transport. And while she has camped before, she admitted that living in a tent for a month would be a challenge. 'I've never camped for as long as a month so it is going to be intense,' she joked. 'I probably will get a bit grumpy. Fortunately, I have a good sense of humour so I am trying to look at it as a funny adventure. And I might try to find someone strong and sexy to help me put up the tent.' Born in Essex to a Turkish Cypriot family as a second-generation immigrant, Özenci was not screened for autism until she was at university where she also discovered the clowning group Ridiculusmus. Inspired, she entered a TV writing competition and won a place in the Edinburgh International TV Festival 2003. However, during a networking event, she was laughed at by a group of girls in the toilets for not wearing party clothes or make-up. After ranting about it to the comedian John Ryan, he advised her to try stand-up comedy. She took his advice and started gigging, integrating comedy into her degree and finally graduating from Aberystwyth University with a BA (Hons) in Performance with Film and TV. In 2016, she received her first major acting and writing credit for Girls Go Trolling (Channel 4 Online) and made guest appearances in Hooligan Legacy (2016), Finding Fatimah (2017) and Man Like Mobeen (2018). Özenci is making her welcome return to the Fringe this year with her new show which is a cross between stand-up and clowning. 'It's a satire but it comes from a place of truth as the whole show is an allegory for an autistic meltdown,' she said. 'I wanted to demonstrate what it is like to be in a meltdown and how I get out of it. 'I'm not actually having a meltdown – I am humourising it because that is the only way it does not have power over me. It's also to educate neurotypical people as to how we process information and what we do when we are in a mess.' In the show, Özenci's alter ego, Narin Oz, is a misbehaving, rule-breaking, prank-loving being who enjoys nothing more than taking reality and flipping it on its head. She likes challenging the status quo, messing with social order and enjoying the chaos. It's a relaxed performance for the whole month as she wants neurodivergent people as well as neurotypicals to come along. 'I want people to be able to own who they are as a person because being neurodivergent is nothing to be ashamed of,' Özenci said. As well as writing and performing in the show, she is in the process of developing clown workshops specifically for neurodivergent people to help them embrace their full, unmasked selves. In her spare time, she is practising putting up her tent. Narin Oz: Inner Child(ish) is on from July 31 until August 24 (not August 12) at the Just the Tonic Mash House.
