Following a scandalous fall from grace in June, Home And Away‘s Jodi Gordon is on the road to recovery, writes Lucie Morris-Marr.
The road to redemption may be long and arduous, but a newly fit Jodi Gordon is taking it all in her stride. Having recently passed a major milestone on her journey of recovery, the actress has finally got her life back on track, telling friends she has “completely changed” her wild ways.
Gone are the late-night parties and boozy benders of the past, instead replaced with quiet trips to the cinema with friends, as she concentrates on a vigorous detox regimen that combines healthy eating with regular exercise.
