Michelle Bridges is a changed woman following her drink driving arrest four years ago and her harrowing split with long-term partner Steve ‘Commando’ Willis.
The Biggest Loser star made headlines in 2020 when she was caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.086 while her son, who was four years old at the time, in the car on Australia Day 2020.
Bridges pleaded guilty after being pulled over in her Range Rover with her son Axel as she drove through Bellevue Hill, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
She was fined $750, her licence was disqualified for three months, and was required to install an alcohol interlock device in her car for a year.
Since then, Bridges, 53, has continued to lead a healthy lifestyle and looks better than ever.

Alcohol is known to cause a ‘puffy’ look in the face, while some studies have shown high levels of alcohol consumption can also exacerbate dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and facial eczema.
Stopping or reducing alcohol also means a reduced calorie intake, which can often lead to weight loss.

It also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone, reduces skin pore size and gives a lighter, more radiant complexion, all of which are basically a result of increased collagen levels.
Michelle listed her ‘rules’ for drinking alcohol in her 2016 health and wellness book, Food For Life, which was written before her DUI arrest.
‘Aim for at least four to five alcohol-free days a week. Never drink when I’m by myself. Never drink when I’ve had a hard day. Stop drinking after dinner,’ she wrote.
‘Being able to moderate my drinking makes me feel like I’m in the driver’s seat.’
Following her incident and her court appearance, Bridges made a public apology in a statement.
‘I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep remorse, shame and humiliation (over) this incident and extreme lack of judgment,’ she said outside court.
‘I would like to apologise to my family, friends and community for this gross error in judgment and the consequences of these actions will haunt me forever.
‘I ask for your forgiveness to my greater community and my family and I thank you for your support.’
After she was charged on January 26, Bridges released a statement claiming she was going through a ‘very difficult time… dealing with the break-up of my long-term relationship’ with Steve ‘Commando’ Willis (left) at the time
After she was charged on January 26, Bridges released a statement she said she was going ‘very difficult time’ dealing with her split with Willis.
‘I would like to express my deep regret for breaking the law, this was a terrible mistake and an error of judgment,’ Bridges said in a statement.
‘This behaviour is inexcusable, and I am absolutely devastated and embarrassed to find myself in this position.
‘It has been a very difficult time for me the last few weeks dealing with the break-up of my long-term relationship.’
