Her fans were amused by the strange creation – but everyone agreed that a supersized Yorkshire pudding has its advantages! "That looks like heaven, yummy", one commented, while another wrote, "Love it you need to share your recipe".

One fan came up with a creative suggestion we'll certainly be trying out ourselves. "Try it as a dessert...maple syrup, honey, or apple mousse and whipped cream", they wrote. Yes please!

Next to a selfie showing Nadia getting her teeth stuck into a cheese and onion pasty, she wrote: "I spent years dieting my way to obesity. Cutting out whole food groups. No carbs, no sugar, no alcohol, no eating, no fat!! It got me nowhere." 

"I will never diet again. Mostly (I can still have my down days) I eat without guilt or self-loathing. This doesn’t mean that I would eat a pasty every day! Occasionally works for me, because I actually love to eat healthy home-cooked food most of the time!"
