Taking to Instagram, Nadiya shared a post revealing the news to her followers.
She penned: "The BBC have decided that they didn't want to commission a show.
"And for me, that was a huge turning point because it's something I've done for the past 10 years.
"I was already on this steady trajectory of change and I was thinking about where I wanted my career to go, and when the BBC decided they didn't want to commission the show anymore, it really did kind of solidify everything for me, and it made me dig my heels in and think 'OK, I know where I want to be'."
The star said she was moving in a "positive direction", remarking: "I'm working on some new things, but for me it's about being my most authentic self, and working with people who believe my voice has a platform, and believing in my talent."
A BBC spokesperson said: "After several wonderful series we have made the difficult decision not to commission another cookery show with Nadiya Hussain at the moment."
Their statement added: "Nadiya remains a much-valued part of the BBC family, and we look forward to working together on future projects."
Some of the star's past programmes include Nadiya's Fast Flavours, Nadiya's Simple Spices and Nadiya Bakes.
Since winning Bake Off, the star has gone on to enjoy a successful TV career.

Speaking to Radio Times, she said: "I stopped watching a few years ago, because working in telly ruins the viewing experience – I pick it apart in a way I never used to."

As fans will recall, the show would later move to Channel 4 in 2017.

Stephen Graham had emergency operation on a plane to the US
Stephen Graham may be known for his intense on-screen performances, but his recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers showcased a very different side of the acclaimed British actor. A story the Adolescence star, 51, told on the show has gone viral online for good reason: It involves mid-air panic, unexpected medical heroics, and the actor 'dropping his kecks.' Prompted by Meyers' question about a particularly eventful journey to the United States, the A Thousand Blows star chuckled and admitted it had been 'a hell of an experience.' 'I'm of a certain age now,' Graham began. 'You know, once you hit 45, the trips to the loo start to rack up.' That complaint led the actor to seek a medical solution months prior – a non-invasive procedure designed to reduce frequent urination by slightly enlarging the prostate, often aided by a catheter. For a while, everything had been fine. That is, until Graham found himself at 10,000 feet and suddenly unable to urinate. 'It just didn't feel right,' he recalled. He returned to his seat and downed more water, hoping it would work itself out. But the next time he visited the toilet, things took a frightening turn. 'Long story short, I went, but it was just pure blood,' he said. 'It was very scary. I couldn't stop this trajectory of blood and I'm having a slight panic attack. I'm about to cry and I'm having a moment,' Graham added. Earlier that day, Graham had posed for a selfie at the gate with a fan, who, as luck would have it, was a doctor. Even better? The doctor's travel companion was a surgeon. Once the severity of Graham's situation became clear, the cabin crew sprang into action. 'Next minute, the doctor comes around the corner and goes, 'Stephen!' and I'm like, 'Doc! Hello!'' What happened next could rival the drama of any Graham-led series. The space between economy and first class was hastily converted into an operating bay. Curtains were drawn, medical kits opened, and the lounge area sterilized. More Trending 'I dropped me kecks, got on the couch, and they performed a catheter procedure right there,' Graham said. The cause? A blood clot that had lodged behind his urethra. But once it was removed, Graham described the relief in the most Graham way possible: 'It was one of the nicest experiences with me and my penis,' he quipped, grinning. 'I came running out like a kid who'd just learned to use the toilet.' He also made sure to commemorate the surreal incident: 'We took a photo at the end, me, the doctors, and the flight crew. Wonderful people.' What could have been a nightmare turned into a memorable, oddly uplifting tale of mid-air humanity – and one more reason fans continue to love Stephen Graham. Got a story?

Bake Off legend claims she's been dropped by the BBC after 10 years on TV
Former Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain has claimed that the BBC have 'dropped' her after 10 years. The star, 40, rose to fame after winning the baking competition's sixth series, back when it still aired on BBC One, and featured Mary Berry as a judge next to last man standing Paul Hollywood. Since her 2015 win, Nadiya has become the most recognisable of the competition's winners, launching a series of cooking shows, TV appearances and cookbooks. These shows included Nadiya's Simple Spices, Nadiya's Everyday Baking, Nadiya's Cook Once, Eat Twice and more. However, her journey appears to have hit a 'turning point,' with the celebrity chef describing her reaction as the broadcaster decided not to commission her latest project. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Addressing her fans in an emotional Instagram video post, Nadiya spoke of the 'trajectory of change' she's been on recently, and her feeling that as a Muslim woman, she isn't always supported by the industry. In the caption to the five-minute-long video, Nadiya wrote: 'Just a hello from me! Thank you to everyone for being on this journey with me, and I hope you can continue to stay on this journey with me. It wouldn't be what ibe (sic) is if it were not for you guys.' She went on to describe what had happened between herself and the BBC, revealing that 'there will be no more cookery show.' 'The BBC have decided that they didn't want to commission a show. And for me, that was a huge turning point because it's something I've done for the past 10 years. 'It was huge because I was already on this steady trajectory of change and I was thinking about where I wanted my career to go, and when the BBC decided they didn't want to commission the show anymore, it really did kind of solidify everything for me, and it made me dig my heels in and think 'OK, I know where I want to be.'' She continued: 'As a Muslim woman, I work in an industry that doesn't always support people like me or recognise my talent or full potential. 'There's a lot of gaslighting, making me feel like what's actually happening isn't happening.' She went on to say how she wanted to go on and 'work with people who believe in voices of people like me. Stories of people like me. I'm working some new things which I'm excited to tell you guys about.' In the comments below Nadiya's post, her followers shared messages of love, support and dismay at the BBC's decision. 'Thank you for using your platform and speaking up. You're not alone in this 🍉❤️' wrote maxlamanna. 'Start your own channel Nadiya. You don't need the beeb,' commented dublindeed. 'Adored you from the first moment you appeared on TV. Keep pushing for what you believe in, live your most authentic life. That is all that matters 💕' said sarahalicefloral. 'Your voice has a platform. No need for the beeb. Be you! 💕' said leannepowell1. A BBC spokesperson told The Mirror: 'After several wonderful series we have made the difficult decision not to commission another cookery show with Nadiya Hussain at the moment.' However, the BBC's comment does not rule out a future collaboration with the star. 'Nadiya remains a much-valued part of the BBC family, and we look forward to working together on future projects.' Elsewhere in the video, Nadiya spoke of how she had been struggling to post about food recently, due to her feelings on the situation in Gaza, and being 'unwell.' Last year, the mum-of-three revealed that she had been diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases after feeling 'sick and unwell.' She did not specify which conditions she had been diagnosed with, but said that she would speak more when she has a 'better handle' on them. In a video on Instagram, Nadiya explained: 'Over the course of two years, I've been quite unwell. I've just been getting quite sick. 'And over the course of the two years, I've been diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, which I'm not going to go into now. 'I will go into in the future when I know more about it, and when I have a better handle on it and when I understand it a little bit better. 'But till then I cannot express the importance of listening to your body, of taking care of yourself.' Last year, she also sparked concern from fans after posting a picture of an empty cup of tea on Instagram. More Trending 'Sometimes. Some things have to end. In order to find love. That might be all the love you ever needed. '#Love #hearts #surprises #end #beginning,' she captioned the post – which contained a broken heart at the bottom of its mug.

'Insecure Tinder date walked out after seeing how tall I am – it was so awkward'
A long-legged woman who makes big money online for height admits that it can often be hard for her to date - and one man walked out of their date after seeing how tall she is A model has opened up about the awkward moment that her Tinder date "shook his head and left" after realising how tall she is - and why the awful experience made her avoid dating for two years. When it comes to dating, we all have our preferences, whether it's hair colour, personality traits, humour and more. And while many people love tall men, one woman, Marie Temara, admits that her long legs have not always worked in her favour. The influencer, who boasts 2.6million Instagram followers, is well known for her 6ft 3in height, with fans frequently worshipping her long legs. However, it seems when it comes to dating, Marie struggles. The influencer has shared how a particular moment with a man shorter than herself ended up affecting her confidence for a long time afterwards. Marie shared: "We'd been chatting online for a while. The conversation flowed and we seemed to have a genuine connection. But when we finally met up for our first date, he was not happy that I was so much taller than him." She explained that his height is around 5ft 9in. She added: "He looked at me, shook his head and told me he had a family emergency – then left." Marie was gutted as the pair had the whole night planned, including a dinner and a movie. "It ended the moment he saw me," Marie added. READ MORE: 'My boyfriend is 28 years my senior – people say I have daddy issues but it's true love' Despite being so confident for long about her height - and making millions every year because of it – the experience hit Marie hard. She admits the rejection brought back insecurities from her teenage years when she was bullied for being tall. Marie said: "It made me feel really insecure again. My height has always been my number one insecurity. After that, I stopped dating for two or three years. "I just couldn't be bothered wasting my time on someone who'd disappear the second they saw how tall I was." While breaking away from going on dates, Marie poured all her energy into building her brand instead and over time. She has had a lot of support from her online fans, plus after getting frequent messages from men who love how tall she is, she saw her confidence return. The model now proudly puts her height front and centre in her dating app bios. And she even admits that she has a soft spot for "short kings". She said: "I've dated guys who were 5ft 8in, 5ft 9in – I don't care about height. But it's still a problem for some of them. I've had to do all the reaching, all the lifting – sometimes I feel like the man in the relationship." Dating is not the only part of everyday life that can be tricky for a tall woman. Marie often takes the back seat on water slides because she is heavier than her date and always has to book aisle seats on planes just to fit her legs. Shopping is a struggle, too; she can't find jeans that fit and gets custom-made clothes for her lengthy frame. She said she gets stared at everywhere she goes, and people often ask to take pictures with her. She added: "Some guys want a photo, others look like they're sizing me up for a fight. But I've learned to own who I am. If someone can't handle my height, it's their loss."
