'It's not that I've gone on some stupid, sad diet and dropped a whole heap of weight in a hurry.
'It's not anything like that,' she told Women's Weekly at the time.
'I am running a business and running around like a mad thing, and sometimes I forget to eat, none of which is healthy.'
Julie reprised her MasterChef appearance in 2012 for the MasterChef All Stars series.

Just four months after Helen gave birth to her third child Elsie, he walked out of their nine-year marriage.

However, the property was put on the market for £1.8million just weeks after the split. The MailOnline reported that Helen hoped to make £500,000 from the sale. Now, the publication reports that the former couple have divided up their properties once again, amid her new romance. They sold the first home they bought in January 2020 for half a million pounds, despite the fact it was listed at nearly £900,000. It is described as a 'link detached house' with four bedrooms that was given a modern makeover by the pair. This was after the duo moved into the period house, which reported to have been sold, subject to contract.

On the ground floor, other rooms include a snug, a dining room for guests and a bedroom with its own ensuite toilet. The two bedrooms on the first floor provide ample space, as the master suite has its own ensuite bathroom and large dressing area. Outdoors, the property boasts a heated swimming pool as well as an annexe with its own bathroom, which could serve as either a guest house or a 'summer entertainment space' The outlet also reports that the couple still own a second property they bought in 2021 for £635,000.
