The firm favourite tells Alex Needs she owes her success to her biggest fan and soul mate — her husband.
With only two weeks to go in the most talked about TV competition in years, MasterChef favourite Julie Goodwin has revealed the secret of her success — the unwavering love of her husband Michael.
While Julie is “shocked” that she’s made it this far, the 38-year-old mum of three knows she couldn’t have done it without the support of the man she’s loved for two decades.
“Michael’s support absolutely inspires me,” Julie tells Woman’s Day. “With my family behind me I can do anything, I can tackle anything that comes my way.”
For many couples, the prospect of spending 16 weeks apart — one off chasing her dreams and achieving national acclaim; the other at home running the family business and looking after three boys — would be a recipe for disaster.
After all, reality TV has a habit of breaking up more relationships than it brings together. But while Julie admits that being apart from Mick, as she calls him, has been “one of the toughest things I’ve ever done”, she wouldn’t have changed it for the world.
Looking after their sons, Joe, 13, Tom, 12, and Paddy, 10, has fallen squarely on Michael’s shoulders, but despite pressure which would make many men crumble, he’s risen to the task.
