Brisbane’s KIIS 97.3FM Robin, Terry & Kip had MasterChef Australia star Matt Preston on the phone for some moral support when Robin became an emotional wreck at the impending challenge.

When Preston said everyone was behind her, the radio star shouted, “No, I don’t have support, everyone wants me to fail, mate.”
Preston reassured Robin, saying, “Robin, you have to believe you can do it. And really, you have support.’
‘That’s not true at all. But honestly, Robin, really believe you can. You just have to have some confidence in yourself.’

Robin then left the studio for 20 minutes to regain her composure, before returning to her co-hosts.
Co-host Kip Wightman admitted he was disappointed with one of her comments during the outburst.
“The trigger was when you told Matt that everyone wants you to fail. And that bothered me,” he said.
“There are two parts to our friendship, one is I want to have fun with you on the radio, if it doesn’t work out, so if we have this lunch and you burn the pizza, it’s going to be fun.”
Robin then took responsibility for her outburst, thinking she may have linked her private trauma to the upcoming challenge. She lost her second husband, Sean Pickwell (left), to liver cancer in September 2019
“It’s funny, but I don’t want you to fall. I really believe in you.’
Robin, who has gone through a huge tragedy in her personal life, subsequently took responsibility for her outburst, thinking she may have linked her private trauma to the upcoming challenge.
‘For God sake. I’ve been through two deaths and two husbands and the thing that brings me to my knees is cooking,” she said.

“I think I may have projected all my other sh*t into this, into this moment of just saying, ‘I can’t.'”
