'I actually quite like him now...' Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain explains why she's happier marrying her husband the second time... even if he 'still has a fat a*se'
She married her husband on what was only their second ever meeting.
But Nadiya Hussain says she's excited to be marrying Abdal again, 11 years later, because there will be some feeling behind her wedding vows this time.
Conceding that the first thing she noticed about her future husband was his 'fat a*se', Bake Off winner Nadiya is glad 'she actually quite likes him' this time.

Married, for a second time: Nadiya Hussain says she's excited to marry husband Abdal again because this time the vows will mean something to her because she is not marrying a stranger
Nadiya told The Mirror: 'We’ve had the Islamic marriage, but we want to have the proper ceremony now.
'Last time I didn’t get to pick my dress, flowers, or even the groom. Plus I actually quite like my husband now, so I will mean the vows. He still has a fat a*se, though. It was the first thing I noticed.'
Nadiya, who is of Bangladeshi heritage, married when she was just 19 years old as part of an arranged marriage where out of 2,000 guests, she only recognised her parents, she previously said.

Happy family: The pair have now been happily married for 11 years and have three children together, Musa, nine; Dawud, eight; and Maryam, five
The pair have now been happily married for 11 years and have three children together, Musa, nine; Dawud, eight; and Maryam, five.
Nadiya previously told Loose Women panelists that she thought her future husband was good looking when she first met him, though she was distracted by his large behind.
She recalled: 'I didn't see him very well but my sisters did so they ran downstairs and said, "Oh my god he's so good looking 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.'
Arrange marriage: But Nadiya says she would not necessarily want her children to marry in the same way that they did
Nadiya, who lived in Luton with her family before her wedding, said it was daunting leaving them behind to live with her new husband in Leeds.
She said: 'I realised "this is a lot harder than I thought" when we got married. You actually have to live with someone to really know what they're like.'
However, Nadiya said while her marriage has been a success, she doesn't expect her children to marry a partner selected for them by their parents.
She announced in August that she was due to renew her wedding vows with Abdal simultaneously confirming that she would like to make her own cake.
