MasterChef star Julie Goodwin has stunned fans in a new TV appearance and social media video.
The TV personality and author, 54, first found fame after winning the cooking show back in 2009, beating runner-up Poh Ling-Yeow, and later returned to the franchise for the All Stars edition.
Goodwin took to Instagram this week to spruik a cooking segment on Sunrise and also share a sponsored advertisement for a cleaning product – but followers were quick to point out that she looks different.
One admitted they 'almost didn't recognise' her with others commenting she 'look[ed] so different'.

In 2016, Goodwin opened up about accidentally losing 20kgs, pointing out it was no cause for celebration.
'It's not that I've gone on some stupid, sad diet and dropped a whole heap of weight in a hurry. It's not anything like that,' she told Women's Weekly at the time.
'I am running a business and running around like a mad thing, and sometimes I forget to eat, none of which is healthy.'
After her MasterChef win, Goodwin went on to establish a successful career as a cookbook author, columnist, and regular TV contributor, but later admitted she had struggled with her mental health amid her rising fame.
She has been in the public eye for nearly two decades.
She spoke about it on the Head Game podcast in March, describing it as going 'right down to the bottom of the well'.
'I had made a decision that everybody, everybody, my colleagues, my children, my husband, my family, everybody would be better off if I just racked off and let them all be,' Goodwin said of her battle with depression and anxiety.
'I just had nothing left. It's a sickness, right, severe depression is a serious illness,' she explained.
'The only way I could shut off my brain late at night, was to drink wine, so I was doing too much of that. So I was self-medicating, and that's a terrible, terrible way to sleep, because you wake up with your heart hammering.'
Fortunately, as Goodwin recently told Nine Honey, she's now doing much better – but admitted it was an ongoing effort.
'I'm good, I really am. But it's a concentrated effort to remain good, you know.'

Chaos as $4 million horse loses mind and kicks out at handler
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Chaos hit Royal Ascot when winning horse Lazzat almost drop-kicked a groundsworker in the head after getting loose and going mad on Sunday morning. The Wathnan-owned sprinter just bagged more than $1 million for winning the Group 1 Platinum Jubilee Stakes over six furlongs. The Sun reports. But when jockey James Doyle was about to be interviewed by ITV, the 9-2 winner appeared to get spooked by a cloth being raised in front of him. Like a red rag to a bull, the fired-up four-year-old dumped Doyle to the turf, turned round and then galloped off down the track. The horse was spooked following victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP. Jockey James Doyle falls off Lazzat. Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS / AFP. Reacting to the scary scenes live, ITV Racing pundit Jason Weaver shouted: 'The sheet! Oh no, he's had a howler with the sheet!' While host Ed Chamberlin said: 'Lazzat won but that's a dramatic aftermath (the likes of which) I've never seen before at Royal Ascot.' Lazzat sent the handler through the rails. Photo: X. Groundsworkers tried their best to calm the horse as he hit top stride at the Berkshire track. But it came inches from turning incredibly nasty indeed when Lazzat, who was cornered by three men, lashed out with his hind legs at one of them. He just missed his head but the man fell through the running rail like a drunk boxer through the ropes. ITV cameras showed Lazzat jogging merrily around on his own, a long, long way from the finish post he had just passed. There was then further drama in the immediate aftermath as rumours swirled that Doyle could be disqualified because he only had ten minutes to weigh in and make the victory official. Doyle needed his saddle but the problem was that Lazzat was still half-way down the track. The horse ran free down the back straight. Photo: X. The poor handler saw his life flash before his eyes. Photo: X. It meant Lazzat, a notoriously tricky customer who had just been bought for enormous money by the Emir of Qatar, even kept King Charles waiting. The monarch was there to present the winning trophy to connections. Fortunately, Lazzat was eventually brought under control, Doyle was driven down to collect his saddle and then rushed back in a motor. It meant the next race was delayed for several minutes and eventually went off six minutes late. Lazzat, who was still very much on his toes in the winner's enclosure, was unhurt by his escapades - and was given a good cooling down after. Lazzat has won more than $4 million in prize money and last year finished second in the Golden Eagle at Rosehill Racecourse in Sydney. — This story originally appeared on The Sun and has been republished with permission Originally published as Chaos as $4 million horse loses mind and kicks out at handler

Channel 9 reporter Hannah Sinclair weds partner in lavish Bali wedding
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nine reporter Hannah Sinclair has married her longtime partner in a lavish Bali wedding. The network's European correspondent exchanged vows with Mitch Burke on a clifftop with panoramic ocean views on Friday, with guests sharing photos of the celebrations on social media. Sinclair, who moved to London from Sydney late last year, wore an elegant spaghetti strap silk gown, and opted for a broadbrimmed hat over a traditional veil. Nine reporter Hannah Sinclair married her partner Mitch Burke in Bali. The couple said 'I do' at a stunning venue on a cliff. Burke, for his part, wore a white tuxedo jacket with a black bow tie. The aisle, which Sinclair walked down with her mother, was set atop a pool of water and lined with bouquets of flowers. The aisle was adorned with flowers. The couple said 'I do' under an archway of flowers with the sweeping ocean view in the background. Changing into a bubble hem mini dress for the reception, Sinclair's guests shared videos of the fairy-light covered dance floor and fireworks display. Among guests included Sinclair's Nine colleagues Gabrielle Boyle, Lizzie Pearl, Ashley Carter and Tim Davies. An outfit change for the reception. The pair danced the night away. It comes after Sinclair held her hen's party in Canggu the night before her wedding day, sharing wild photos and videos as she danced the night away with a group of friends who were all dressed in pink. 'I have the best family and friends in the world,' Sinclair wrote. Sinclair's hen's party was held the night before the wedding. The journalist, who started her career with Southern Cross Austereo in Tasmania, first joined Nine's Perth bureau in 2016, before moving to Sydney two years later. Sinclair took up a role with A Current Affair in 2021, and was later promoted to her current correspondent gig which she started in September last year. Hannah is the European correspondent for Nine. Sharing the news on Instagram at the time, Sinclair said working in London was her 'dream job'. ''She was unstoppable, not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them.' This quote really resonates with me as I reflect on how far I've come in my 10 year career as a journalist,' she wrote. 'Today's my last day for a white with the amazing team at (A Current Affair). Next week I start my dream job in London as Europe Correspondent for Nine, and boy, am I excited.' Originally published as Channel 9 reporter Hannah Sinclair weds partner in lavish Bali wedding

Hailey Bieber ditches her wedding ring as Justin Bieber divorce rumours loom
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Hailey Bieber fuelled rumours that she and husband Justin Bieber are headed for divorce after she was spotted without her wedding ring while out and about in New York City. The model was photographed going ring-less on Thursday as she stepped out on two separate occasions — the first being for breakfast at The Commerce Inn in the West Village. Photos obtained by Page Six reveal she wore a khaki trench coat and sunglasses for the outing, but made sure to leave her $US500,000 jewellery piece at home. Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber have sparked rumours they're headed for a split. Picture: MEGA/GC Images Hailey, 28, was later seen that evening with models Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse as they headed for a girls' night out at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side. For her second look, the billionaire babe looked chic in a black leather coat and matching high-neck top with wide-leg jeans. A rep for Hailey did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Divorce rumours have followed the couple for some time. However, the speculation appeared to be reignited earlier this year after Hailey unfollowed Justin, 31, on Instagram in March. Hailey and Justin have been engulfed by rumours of trouble in paradise. Hailey and Justin welcomed a son, Jack, last year. The Rhode Skin founder claimed the unfollowing happened because of a glitch that took place when Justin deactivated and reactivated his account. Hailey addressed the incessant divorce speculation that has plagued the famous pair since their 2018 wedding in her Vogue interview last month, calling out 'bitches' who won't 'move on.' 'Well, I thought seven years in it would've [died down] already, and it hasn't,' she said. 'You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no,' the first-time mom, who welcomed son Jack Blues with Justin last August, added. 'So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.' The couple also continues to face added scrutiny as many have expressed their concern for the 'Beauty and a Beat' singer's wellbeing after he was seen acting erratically and recreationally smoking marijuana on several occasions. In April, a source confirmed to Page Six that Justin is 'going through a hard time' and that Hailey was worried for him. 'Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there's only so much she can do,' the source said at the time. 'Hailey loves Justin with all her heart, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.'
