Her parents arranged her marriage to Abdal when she was 19

Yet aged 19, she said she was obliged to follow an unwritten rule to “behave submissively and look downcast.”

Nadiya, the current title-holder of the BBC Bake Off crown, said: “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.”
