Of course, Hussain has been subjected to countless racist attacks herself on social media – so much so that she has, on occasion, been left feeling fearful for herself and her family.

“It’s really scary to be a Muslim right now,” she previously admitted. “Sometimes my kids will say, ‘Mummy, do people not like Muslims?’”

Speaking to The Times in 2018, Hussain went on to say that, while she used to do her best to ignore people’s misguided hatred and acknowledge the “dignity in silence”, she has now made a point of fighting back against the prejudices she faces.

As such, she’s made a point of using her position in the public eye to defend herself, as well as others.

“I have to justify my existence all the time,” she said.

“I’m a little bit of everything. I’m brown. I’m Muslim. I cover my hair. I claim to be British at the same time so I get abuse from every angle.

“I’m never a good enough Muslim. I’m not a good enough Brit. I’m not a good enough Bangladeshi. I think three years ago I would have just sat there and taken it, but not now.

“Now, I’ll say something.”
