Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain has hit back at a Twitter troll who told her to "go home".

Hussain, 33, who grew up in Luton, responded: "Have you not realised by now, that saying 'go home' is just not working any more.
"Go home to where? I am home?"
Her response received more than 1,000 retweets and 6,000 likes.
