As an actress, Nadia Sawalha got her big break in 1997, joining BBC One’s hit soap EastEnders as Annie Palmer, a ruthless businesswoman. Following appearances in Casualty and The Bill, she has now become better known as a TV presenter.
Her credits include a string of BBC programmes, including Passport To The Sun, Heir Hunters, Wanted Down Under and Accidents Can Happen. In 2006, she became Adrian Chiles’ original co-host on teatime magazine programme The One Show, but she was eventually replaced by Christine Bleakley after leaving due to pregnancy.
The next year, Nadia was crowned winner of Celebrity Masterchef, and she went on to present the show’s junior spin-off, before fronting Saturday Cookbook, Sunday Scoop and cookery segments on Lorraine for ITV.
In 2011, she joined the sixth series of Dancing On Ice, but was eliminated in its first week. She returned to Loose Women as a regular panellist in 2013, eleven years after her first three-year stint on the popular talkshow.
Nadia – a huge Big Brother fan – hints that she’ll keep her opinions to herself in the house, saying: “I don’t look for confrontation, but I would describe myself as feisty but fair.
“What I can’t take is someone who isn’t kind. If somebody just really isn’t a very nice person then I will have a rub up with them.”
However, she isn’t afraid of the prospect of living with loudmouth Katie Hopkins. “I suspect she acts a lot of what she says. I don’t think anyone could be that nasty,” the 50-year-old comments. “I think it’s for business because it gets her work. I’m hoping I meet her and she’s actually nice.”
Nadia may love all things food – but she’s been warned to avoid becoming the resident CBB chef. She laughs: “My mum’s only bit of advice was, ‘Don’t take over the kitchen, because people hate people who take over the kitchen on reality shows’. It’s hilarious because all I ever do is cook!”
I like Nadia, she might have her faults as we all have, but Katie Hopkins is a vicious nightmare with her bloated ego. Who gave her the right to tell people who they can talk to? So they don’t agree with her over Perez, then she needs to get over it. Of course she has the right to voice her opinion and I am sure many agree with her but what she is doing to Nadia with her goading is as bad as anything she is accusing Perez of doing!
Of all the people in the house Nadia is the most minipulated by Perez and she’s too dumb to see it.
She fights his fights and he just stands there and let’s her go at it.
She has made herself feel an outcast from the others with her ridiculous behaviour running around after Perez and there is no way the others will now have anything to do with her while HE is there.
Can’t believe she hasn’t seen through him yet and I’m starting to think she is a dumb as Alicia.
It’s little Bo Peep (Perez) and his 3 dumb sheep named Nadia, Alicia and Patsy!
I could not believe what I heard! Patsy nominated Perez and Nadia. What a surprise!
The housemates are just being hystericcal at perez and nadia is in the way. Go nadia! :heart: :heart: :heart:
Nadia is SO annoying she thinks everything she says is the absolute most correct thing to say and no body else should think otherwise. She cant open her mind to the reality that is right in front of her frikin face, how can she sit there with Perez like she’s his best friend when everyone else hates him (IS SHE THICK?) Get Nadia out, Get Nadia out, Get Nadia out, Get Nadia out! AHHHHHHH!!! Shes the sort of person I cant stand to be around and I would have to tell her the exact truth to her face, and I would enjoy doing so too.
Nadia talk to who you want to. You are the bigger person. How can anyone condone isolating someone and bullying them.
@shazza you are as deluded as Nadia is #Shutthehellup!

Because she is getting involved in all the drama that is going on, we haven’t seen the funny and lighthearted side of Nadia. If Katie and Perez are evicted the house will be a much better place with everybodies personalities coming to the fore. Unfortunately at the moment its just the Katie and Perez show and is getting boring.
Katie Hopkins was only polite and friendly to Nadia and Perez at the beginning because she was on a task to be nice! It didn’t take long for the ugly bullying side to appear. I am not a great fan of Nadia but I think she is being very brave to stand against the baying housemates. Perez might be a nightmare but it doesn’t excuse the vile behaviour against him.
I don’t even think Nadia likes Perez that much, he just serves a purpose in annoying Katie.
Ugh. Can’t stand this sanctimonious hypocrite. :down:
Nadia is pathetic I agree with EVERYTHING Katie Hopkins said about her.
She is incredibly stuck up her own behind. Rather annoying to watch actually.
I like Nadia think she’s cool :up: 😉
I’m in 2 minds with her! I like her outside the big brother house, I think she’s stunning, funny & likeable
However in the house im not really a fan. i don’t like the fact she tries to play mediator especially when in the house it’s obvious issues need addressing.
Let housemates fight their own battles. If there was bullying going on then I’d praise her for it, but @ the mo its unnecessary. The 1 thing that has lost my respect is that she says things in response to Katie H quietly or when shes left the room. Almost like shes secretly scared to confront her. I might not agree with nadias argument however I’d respect her more for standing up 4 herself as she has the potential to be a well liked strong character.
she isnt a follow fashion like certain others
Nadia is a idiot!
I agree with Katie Hopkins said about her. Nadia for you .|.
Somebody tell her she’s not a peace envoy.
Love Nadia to win :heart: : :up: :up: she’s a nice good hearted person who is everyone’s friend go Nadia xx :heart: :up: :up:
Ahh she reads the Guardian, so she must be really, really nice :conf: and not a passive aggressive, far-left know it all who thinks it’s their way or the highway.
Obviously anyone who doesn’t think she is sooooo fantastic is a ill- educated, racist bigot with shit for brains 😀
GET NADIA OUT GET NADIA OUT GET NADIA OUT. She needs a kick up her arse by somebody with a pair of clogs on their feet
I’ve been trying to think for days now who it is that Nadia reminds me of, then it came to me. Dolores Umbrage from the Harry Potter film. She too smiles sweetly whilst sticking the boot in. 😀
@chris
Or running shoes, those with the spikes 😀
Keep nardia in :heart: :up:
