<p>Nadiya Hussain is opening up about the sexual abuse she allegedly suffered at the age of 5.</p>
<p>During an appearance on the We Need To Talk podcast on Tuesday, July 15, The Great British Baking Show winner 40, spoke candidly to host Paul C Brunson about one of the most traumatic memories from her childhood.</p>
<p>"As a 5-year-old, I was sexually abused by my cousin," Hussain alleged. "I didn't really know that that was sexual abuse until I was in my biology lesson in Year 8 [of school] and we were having a sex education class."</p>
<p>"The penny dropped. I put the two together, and I was like, 'That happened to me,' " the TV chef continued. "I remember vomiting profusely. My teacher said, 'Are you unwell?' And I said, 'No, I'm fine.' "</p>
<p>Hussain recalled that she kept quiet instead of telling the teacher because her alleged abuser was a cousin who was constantly around her family.</p>
<p>"He was there all the time, and he was in our house and he was upstairs, and he was everywhere," she said.</p>
<p>When Brunson, 50, asked how her family reacted once they found out about the abuse, Hussain revealed she's never spoken to her parents about it.</p>
<p>"We don't talk about it," Hussain said. "Nobody talks about it. I can sit here and tell the whole world, but I cannot have that conversation with my mum and dad ever."</p>
<p>The baker revealed her parents have never read her book, before adding that she has debated bringing up the alleged abuse she suffered in a conversation with them.</p>
<p>"Would I like to if they were different people? Yeah," she said of talking to her parents. "I know them too well, I know that, I know what I'd be met with."</p>

<p>"I live in a community where the men are protected. And to be fair, we live in a society where men are always protected," Hussain continued. "And I don't want anyone to say that it was my fault, because I think that's what I'm going to hear. And I think I don't want to hear that, if I hear that I'll lose it."</p>
<p>"What I would hate to see is, I feel like I would be blamed and he would be protected, and I just can't dig that up," she added.</p>

<p>Hussain went on to reflect on being bullied at school from the ages of 4 to 17 by two boys, who she also claims attempted to sexually assault her.</p>
<p>Elsewhere in the podcast, she shared her experience of racism while growing up and the additional trauma that came with her TV fame.</p>
<p>The GBBS star recalled producers having to move into her house after she received death threats and having panic buttons installed in her home that would alert police.</p>
<p>"It's soul-destroying because somebody hates you enough to want you dead," she said. "And then you ask yourself, 'Why?' "</p>

<p>"Am I that bad? Why do you want me dead?" she continued. "I couldn't understand it, it was like I lost my faith in humanity completely."</p>
<p>Hussain said her family now lives in a house that's overlooked by seven neighbors to feel protected.</p>
<p>"If there are any problems, we've taught our kids to go out into the garden and shout because there will be a neighbor who hears you," she added.</p>
