Poh Ling Yeow has lifted the lid on her very unusual relationship with ex-husband Matt Phipps and his new wife Sarah Rich.
The MasterChef star, 48, divorced filmmaker Matt in 1999, yet has maintained a close friendship with her ex over the years - despite him later marrying her best friend Sarah Rich.
While most people would struggle to cope such a bizarre turn of events, Poh said she's thankful for how it all turned out.

'When [Matt and Sarah] got together, everyone always asked, 'How can you not have an issue with that?'' Poh said during an interview with Jessica Rowe's Big Talk Show on Wednesday.
Poh noted that she and Matt hadn't officially parted ways when he found love with Sarah, but insisted that she was thrilled to finally put an end to their unhappy marriage.
'Matt and I were already in a really not great spot, and we didn't know how to break up. And it was almost like a gift to me, and we were sort of living almost like housemates for at least three years not knowing how to manage the situation,' she recalled.
