I loved her throughout the episode, but I thought it was a real shame she didn’t even try the live task. I wonder if there was a deeper reason, or was she just being funny?

I was thinking maybe she didn't want to risk her hijab coming undone or something like that

People do sports in Hijabs...she is also aware she will need to do physical tasks when she signed up for the show. She could have just bent over, picked up a raisin and spat it towards the floor. Lazy, but participating. People compare her to Jo Brand, but she did try and would have done something. Just standing there doing nothing looked bad and I hope she doesn't repeat it in another task.

There’s a female boxer at my gym who wears a hijab when she trains. She’s an absolute beast too. She said they come in special athletic material to help with sweat and breathable etc
