Michelle Bridges has revealed that she sought help after being arrested for a DUI three years ago.  

The former Biggest Loser star and celebrity trainer was caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.086 with her son, who was four years old at the time, in the car about 11.25am on Australia Day 2020. 

The 52-year-old tells this week’s issue of Stellar Magazine that she was met with an outpouring of much-needed support following the incident. 

‘If I really look at it, it wouldn’t have been just a couple of months of the hardest point of my life – it was easily six months’ she said. 

‘That was a long time of not being in a great place and it culminated in what was then a DUI, which was like the biggest mistake of my life.

‘One that I’ll regret forever, one that I’ve apologised over and wrung my hands over and learnt from. 

‘It was the first time that I actually thought, I don’t have the answers, people. It was the first time in my life that I just went, you know, I’ve got nothing. I just got nothing. And, yes, I need help.’

She went on: ‘Just some support and some love and to feel vulnerable and be okay with it. 

‘Because I’d always just gone, “No, I’m fine.” It was a big eye-opener for me that it’s okay to be vulnerable.’

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 she will be required to install an alcohol interlock device in her car for a year. 

‘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 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.’
