Well, She Sure Can Cook Up A Story!

Great British Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain has quit her job as a teaching assistant, which she took after the BBC axed her cookery show last year.

Ah, yes, still chasing her 5 minutes of fame - thanks a lot, social media!  

After the BBC’s decision to drop her – something she still ‘doesn’t know why’ happened – Nadiya said she’d been courted with other offers from the likes of ITV and Channel 4. However, she chose to pursue a career in teaching at a primary school instead, a job she has now given up because it ‘played havoc with her health’, she has revealed.

What health issues does she have, then, that would prevent her being a classroom assistant (NOT the same thing as a teacher).?  

‘I loved every second of waking up in the morning with a spring in my step for these beautiful children. I just loved every second of doing that job. 
‘But unfortunately doing a job like that as somebody with a weakened immune system it just played havoc with my health.’

First she's mentioned it, then? 

Nadiya has been open about her battle with Fibromyalgia in the past.

Ah. The new 'ooh, me back'?  

Nadiya finished by saying: ‘So back to drawing board and figuring stuff out.’

Figuring out which Card will be the best one to play? The Muslim Card or the Disability Card.

    I've got fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. Yes it's a bugger. When the fibro plays up it feels like constantly being hit in my ribs and shoulderblades by baseball bats. It can continue like that for hours and I get no warning.The arthritis is a bugger, and there are some days where I can barely hobble around the house on crutches. Thing is with this bint, she was dumped because it looks like she ran out of steam. I would think making a cookery show would be more difficult than teaching kids, but I'm no expert. I certainly would not go bleating about it to all and sundry. She doesn't know how lucky she is.
