Just a few weeks after Woman’s Day revealed Michelle Bridges and Steve “Commando” Willis quietly split at New Year, with the former army sergeant moving into a friend’s home, fitness guru Michelle has been arrested for allegedly mid-range drink driving.
The former Biggest Loser star’s four-year-old son Axel was in the car when she was pulled over for a random roadside breath test at 11.25am on Australia Day in Sydney’s affluent suburb of Bellevue Hill.
Michelle, 49, was arrested and taken to Waverley Police Station where she allegedly blew a blood-alcohol reading of 0.086 and was issued with a notice to appear at Waverley Local Court on February 18.
Clearly distressed, Michelle released a public statement, “I would like to express my deep regret for breaking the law, this was a terrible mistake and an error of judgement… this behaviour is inexcusable, and I’m absolutely devastated and embarrassed… It’s been a very difficult time for me the last few weeks dealing with the break-up of my long-term relationship.”
EMOTIONAL TURMOIL
“This is by no means an excuse for my behaviour but I feel the emotional turmoil I have been going through has impacted my decision-making. I am extremely sorry for my actions,” Michelle finished.
