Bake Off winner Nadiya to star at Newport Show
She stole the hearts of a nation and made Mary Berry cry – and now Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain is heading to Shropshire.
Nadiya was today unveiled as the celebrity chef at this year's Newport Show.
She will give demonstrations during her appearance on July 9 and talk about her rise to baking fame.
She is expected to be a popular draw with show-goers, many whom will have seen her emotional victory on the BBC1 programme in October.
Nadiya said: "I'm very excited to be coming to Newport Show and Shropshire for the first time. I'll be demonstrating recipes from my book that will be published in June and I'm looking forward to meeting Bake Off fans."
Nadiya, is now a weekly columnist and is writing her first book. Show president Martin Hall said: "We are over the moon to have enticed Nadiya to Shropshire. Her victory in the Bake Off and her amazing creative flair and open personality captured the hearts of everyone and we are very much looking forward to her visit to the show."
The 107th Newport Show, one of Shropshire's largest one-day events, will be held at the Chetwynd Deer Park and last year attracted a record 13,000 visitors.
The show offers a number of family entertainment and livestock and horse competitions. There will also be a schools marquee, a focus on horticulture, a craft fair and other stalls.
