Bake Off Queen Nadiya Hussain Cries Off Teaching Gig Due to Health Woes!

Hearts melted as TV's favorite baker Nadiya Hussain, revealed a tear-jerker of a decision to her army of Insta fans – stepping down from her teaching assistant hustle at Giles Brook Primary! A mere three months in, and the Bake Off champ found her health crumbling like overworked pastry, leading to a gut-wrenching goodbye to the little Crickets class that she adored.

From the winner's podium in 2015 to the classroom, Hussain's had quite the rollercoaster – and it's been no piece of cake! With fibromyalgia and a gnarly autoimmune gut-wrecker tagging along, juggling bugs and sprogs proved a recipe for disaster. Despite a trouper's spirit, chasing away constant sniffs and snuffles left her spooning out less than her best.

The flour-dusted dynamo, diagnosed just this year, found the dizzying world of sniffles and homework too spicy for her health cocktail. Stress from her TV career's dimming lights didn't help the broth, even as whispers of a TV comeback simmered on other networks' stoves.

Nadiya, never one to half-bake her commitments, poured her heart into the job, rivaling the joy of raising her trio of munchkins. But alas, health comes first and it's back to the drawing board. Star-studded pals poured out support, including celeb chef Lisa Faulkner and TV doc Amir Khan, all stirring the pot of love and understanding.

Though she's hung up her teaching apron, one thing's crystal – Nadiya's an unstoppable force, inspiring kitchen warriors and classroom heroes alike!
