Fans left distraught after end of GBBO winner Nadiya Hussain’s show Chronicles of Nadiya
The cake ace has captured the hearts of telly fans again who called for her programme to be extended
GREAT British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain again captured the hearts of telly fans who were left devastated after her new series, The Chronicles of Nadiya, came to an end.
Passionate viewers took to Twitter last night to gush praise over her mini documentary series, which followed journeys around her home country Bangladesh.
As well as whipping up a variety of foodie treats they got an insight into her personal life when she visited the wedding of her distant cousin, Jasmine, as well as various family celebrations.
After just two shows audiences were left captivated, with one calling for the bubbly mum to secure her own travel cooking series.
One wrote: "Most beautiful, joyous television. Don't want it to end," while another added: "Dear BBC, many congrats for finding the most likeable, empathetic, attractive, warm personality in decades."
Another simply added: "This is the most wonderful piece of television."
One picked up on Nadiya's frank discussions about her culture and religion in modern life and wrote: "A great watch. Nadiya's so warm and it's super to see a strong British Muslim woman on the telly box," while one posted: "So refreshing to hear someone speak so candidly about their culture. This should be compulsory viewing."
Her show also attracted support from fellow TV celebrities.
Collabro's Jamie Lambert, who won Britain's Got Talent with his bandmates, took to Twitter to write: "I think #chroniclesofnadiya is absolutely brilliant.
"A genuine, interesting woman giving brilliant insights. Congrats," while singer and The Voice UK coach Yvie Burnett added: "Oh my goodness I love @begumnadiya. What a lovely show."
Another went as far as to hail her a British gem and uploaded a message which said: "Nadiya Hussain is a national treasure. What a wonderful person with a gorgeous + pure soul. Such a natural on TV, too."
One rounded off the praise with the comment: "Nadiya for Queen of the World please."
The culinary ace - who went on to bake the Queen's birthday cake after winning the show - took to her own account to write a gushing message of thanks to fans after her show wrapped.
She wrote: "Thanks for all the support #chroniclesofnadiya is a little piece of me that I have been so proud and honoured to share with you all," followed by two Emoji love hearts.

Ahead of her first independent TV series, Nadiya lifted the lid on the impact her culture played on her wedding.
She revealed the special event was one of the "worst" days of her life after she confessed, aged 19, she was obliged to follow an unwritten code to "behave submissively and look downcast".
Nadiya, the current title-holder of the BBC Bake Off crown, told The Mirror: "I have to say my wedding day was one of the worst days of my life.
"I was an emotional wreck and I cried through the whole thing. I didn’t smile very much. You are literally on show and it’s something I was always really uncomfortable with. The bride will often keep her head down. I never really understood it."
