Last year, The Great British Bake Off’s Nadiya Hussain signed a deal with the BBC to front numerous programmes over the coming years.

The broadcaster revealed Hussain would be making the BBC her “home”, adding she will continue on The One Show while developing "other exciting programme ideas”.

Finally, we have word of what exactly the BBC and Hussain have planned. Her first show - Nadiya's British Food Adventure - will see the baker undertake a road trip around Britain over eight episodes, visiting a different region in each.

Speaking about the show, Hussain said: “Our country's regional cuisine is much more than tried and tested traditional dishes - there are quirky and clever food producers out there who are reinventing British food in unique and exciting ways.

"I can't wait to meet these local food heroes, to find inspiration in the most unusual food stories and unlikely ingredients and then come up with some brand new recipes in the kitchen, adding my own special twist.”

Hussain recently fronted The Chronicles of Nadiya, a show in which she traveled to Bangladesh to trace her culinary roots.
