How Michelle Bridges’ face dramatically changed after her shock DUI and very public relationship breakdown with her Steve ‘Commando’ Willis
Michelle Bridges is a changed woman after her drink-driving arrest four years ago and her harrowing break from long-term partner Steve ‘Commando’ Willis.
The Biggest Loser star made headlines in 2020 when she was caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.086 while her son, who was four at the time, was in the car on Australia Day 2020.
Bridges pleaded guilty after she was stopped in her Range Rover with her son Axel while driving through Bellevue Hill, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
She was fined $750, had her driver’s license revoked for three months and had to install an alcolock in her car for a year.
Since then, Bridges, 53, has continued to live a healthy lifestyle and looks better than ever.

Alcohol is known to cause a ‘puffy’ look to the face, while some studies have shown that high alcohol consumption can also worsen dry skin conditions such as psoriasis and facial eczema.
Stopping or reducing alcohol also means reduced calorie intake, which can often lead to weight loss.

It also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone, reduces skin pore size and gives a lighter, more radiant complexion, all of which are basically the result of increased collagen levels.
Michelle listed her “rules” for drinking alcohol in her 2016 health and wellness book, Food For Life, which was written before her DUI arrest.
‘Aim for at least four to five alcohol-free days a week. Never drink when I’m alone. Never drink when I’ve had a hard day. Stop drinking after eating,” she wrote.
‘Being able to moderate my alcohol consumption makes me feel like I’m in the driver’s seat.’
Following her incident and her court appearance, Bridges issued a public apology in a statement.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep regret, shame and humiliation (over) this incident and my extreme lack of judgment,” she said outside the courtroom.
“I would like to apologize to my family, friends and community for this gross error in judgment and the consequences of these actions will haunt me forever.
“I ask for your forgiveness to my larger community and my family and I thank you for your support.”
After being charged on January 26, Bridges released a statement claiming that she was going through a “very difficult time at the time… dealing with the end of my long-term relationship” with Steve “Commando” Willis (left).
