The 'Great British Bake Off' winner seemingly won over the hearts of the producers when she was interviewed on the lunchtime chat show last month, as she's been pulled back in to guest-host the programme on a one-off basis this week.

She said of her new gig: "I was so happy when I was asked to be a guest panellist on 'Loose Women'. I had such a great time as a guest I just couldn't say no!

"I'm so excited and ready to let loose and discuss all the hot topics of the day with the lovely 'Loose Women'."

The talented baker will sit alongside regular panellists Andrea McLean, Kaye Adams and Linda Robson as they discuss the biggest news stories and welcome the day's celebrity guests.

'Loose Women' editor Sally Shelford said of Nadiya: "She impressed us all with her humility, grace and good humour when she came on 'Loose Women' as a celebrity guest, and we can't wait to see her come back as a panellist.

"We think she has all the ingredients of a great guest Loose Woman and we're sure our viewers will agree."

Nadiya, who was crowned the Star Baker of the cooking series last year, will appear on the topical chat show on Friday (05.02.16).
