Australian Story tonight: Michelle Bridges

Remember when Michelle Bridges was just the woman brought in to the Biggest Loser to be the Aussie version of Jillian Michaels? And now she’s everywhere, from frozen meals to athletic gear to showing up in my Facebook feed trying to get me to change my body in 12 weeks.
She’s had her share of controversies, from her relationship with co-star Commando to the whole eating vegies in the dirt thing, so tonight’s Australian Story should be really interesting.
The blurb from the ABC says:
“For the first time on TV Michelle Bridges and her family talk about her becoming a mum at 45, her relationship with ‘Commando’ Steve Willis and taking on the junk food industry.
The program traces Bridges’ remarkable journey as the daughter of a broken home in working class Newcastle who last year was named on the BRW list of Australia’s richest self-made women.
She’s described as one of Australia’s most influential health and fitness experts. In a new relationship with her “Biggest Loser” co-star, Steve Willis, the couple have been fodder for gossip columnists and paparazzi and now have a 4-month old son, Axel.
Bridges says having Axel has strengthened her ambition to tackle the junk food and sugar industries. “The truth of the matter is they sell crap food and make people sick and that makes me angry.”

I reckon it will be worth watching just to see more awkward bodybuilding comp photos (and look at that hair!). It’s on the ABC tonight (Monday) at 8pm most states, or you can no doubt catch it on iView later.
