Julie Goodwin has opened up about a distressing childhood trauma detailed in her new memoir.
The 53-year-old MasterChef Australia star has just released her autobiography, Your Time Starts Now, which describes how she was sexually abused as a child and later attempted suicide as a teenager.
The TV chef, who rose to fame with her winning appearance on MasterChef in 2009, claims the long-buried memory of her abuse returned when she was 16.
Speaking to The Australian Women's Weekly, she said 'Nothing triggered it, it was just like the memory was always there, like a dusty book on a library shelf.'
'And one day I took it down and looked at it and went, "Holy crap, how have I not thought about that for nine years?"' she added.
