MasterChef star Julie Goodwin reveals the moment she tried to take her own life... and how the kindness of two strangers saved her


Former MasterChef Australia star Julie Goodwin has revealed that she was on the verge of taking her own life at the height of her fame.

Julie continued: 'I was nearly dead when I found out that I needed help, I was sitting on the edge of Brisbane Water [on the NSW Central Coast], and I was ready. Following her winning stint on MasterChef, Julie parlayed that success into a career that saw her open a cooking school, host a breakfast radio show on the Central Coast, as well as publishing numerous cookbooks. Julie revealed on the podcast that she had struggled to strike a balance between increasing work commitments and family life with husband Michael and their three sons Joe, 28, Tom, 27, and Paddy, 25.
