Who is Nadiya Hussain’s husband Abdal and do they have children?
NADIYA Hussain wowed judges when she triumphed on The Great British Bake Off way back in 2015.
Many fans have since wondered who her husband Abdal is. Here's the lowdown.
Who is Nadiya Hussain's husband Abdal?
Abdal is the husband of cook and Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain.
At the time of the show he was a technical manager at a Computer Sciences Corporation based in Leeds.
He encouraged her to apply to the show and was quickly deemed a "hunk" by Bake Off viewers.
Nadiya has described her husband as a huge support.
During the show she said: “He’s definitely been my biggest support throughout all of this, and he’s had to take on a very different role at home.
“He irons clothes now, feeds the kids and does the dishes. No relationship is 50/50, as someone always gives a little bit more.
“At the moment he’s the one giving a lot more.”
How did they meet?
The Great British Bake Off star and her hubby had an arranged marriage in 2004 and had only met once before they married.
Speaking on Loose Women, the 37-year-old revealed what she looked out for in him when they first met.
She said: "I didn’t see him very well but my sisters did and they went downstairs and said ‘oh my god he’s so good-looking’."
Before adding: "But he’s got an enormous butt.
"So now, when I met him for the first time, the first thing I wanted to look at was his butt.
"So I was like I’ve got to check if this a*** is as huge as I think it is."
Nadiya told The Sun: "We're married Islamically but we've never done the proper vows here."
The couple re-married and announced it on Instagram after the ceremony.
Nadiya penned: "Nothing fancy just love. No frills. Just us. We did it again. I do. I always will. I would do it all over again".
Abdul responded: "You can't run away from me now. I love you to infinity and beyond."
