The Curse Of Masterchef

From Drink-driving to Assault Charges and Public Spats, These Naughty Cooks Have Reached Boiling Point

Busted: Julie Goodwin

Last week, the winner of MasterChef’s first series, Julie Goodwin, attempted to dodge a random breath test and was later charged with mid-range drink-driving for being above the legal limit.

The mother-of-three was heading home from a celebratory function at the time. Driving a Mini Cooper Sedan in Gosford around 8pm, Julie tried to perform a cheeky U-turn when she caught sight of the police.

When they finally tracked down the 47-year-old, she was found with a blood alcohol level of 0.107.

Following the arrest, the accomplished cook took to social media to express her regret and shame of the incident in a lengthy statement.
