‘I lost my joy’: MasterChef’s Julie Goodwin opens up about mental health battle
Reality cooking show’s inaugural winner has had ‘a tough couple of years’ since being hospitalised, but ‘if I had a message to give it would be, just don’t give up’
MasterChef Australia’s Julie Goodwin has opened up about her mental health struggles in the years since winning the show’s inaugural season, saying her anxiety was so bad at one point she “couldn’t set foot in my kitchen” after being admitted to a mental health unit.
Goodwin, who is currently a contestant on the show’s Fans v Faves spinoff, spoke on Thursday night’s episode about her life in the 13 years since she won the first season. The 50-year-old has written six cookbooks and runs a cooking school, in addition to appearing on television and radio.
