GREAT British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain has revealed she suffers so much vile racist abuse it is “part of my life”.
Mum of three Nadiya, 31, said: “I expect to be shoved, pushed or verbally abused. It happens. It’s happened for years.”
But the Luton-born Muslim, praised for her positive community role, tells today’s Desert Island Discs: "I love being British and I love living here, this is my home and it always will be regardless of all the other things that define me.

"This is my home and I want my kids to be proud of that and I don't want them to grow up with a chip on their shoulder, so I live as positively as I can."
Bangladeshi-Brit Nadiya, who wed hubby Abdul at 19 in an arranged marriage, chose Counting Crows’ Accidentally In Love on Radio 4’s show.
She said he played it in the background during their six-month phone courtship, and now serenades her with it daily.
