She added that she wrote the book to 'share stories of a uniquely complex generation of British Asians and to play my part in bringing more female Asian characters into mainstream women's fiction.'
Her Instagram also has a image of her in the Bake Off tent with the caption: 'Yep. That's me. You know, in the bake off tent wearing the bake off apron...!!! Chase those dreams folks because sometimes stuff like this happens.'
Priya recently posted an image of Penguin HQ and wrote: 'If you had told me a year ago (when I'd started writing) that I'd be spending the day at Penguin, surrounded by books and sitting with the CEO of Penguin UK for lunch having a good natter about MY book, I wouldn't believe you. Not in a million years.
'I've had the most inspiring and exciting day. To say it's been surreal would be an understatement!

'In Spring 2012, six years after selling those first hair Accessories, Helena opened her own shop in the beautifully renovated Corn Exchange in Leeds. This new boutique has drawn amazingly positive feedback from all visitors and shoppers and reflects the quirky, fun and vibrant style that has become the Candy Candy trademark.'
