MasterChef winner Julie Goodwin reveals the sliding-doors moment that saved her life when she thought she couldn't go on - and how the simple act by a stranger brought her back from the brink
A Masterchef winner has revealed she was just seconds away from tragedy when a simple act from strangers brought her back from the brink.
Goodwin, who became a household name after winning the first series of the Channel 10 cooking reality show in 2009, has opened up on how seeking to capitilise on her fame led to overwork and battles with crippling anxiety and depression. Appearing on SBS' Insights on Tuesday night, Goodwin said she went with her husband Michael to a Central Coast Mariners A-League soccer game but had separated from him to meet some friends when a wave of despair hit. Goodwin, who revealed in her 2024 biography 'Your Time Starts Now' that she was sexually abused as a child and later attempted suicide as a teenager, said her conviction for drink driving in 2018 weighed heavily on her mind.
