Learning how to meditate kicked it off for me and I realised after the first 10 min block that it was the first time in ages I’d stopped and slowed down with my own well-being top of mind.”The popular host of Nova breakfast’s Chrissie, Sam and Browny, has also formed a close bond with fellow Celebrity MasterChef contestants.She said actor Rebecca Gibney and Tilly Ramsay, the daughter of British chef Gordon Ramsay, her “kindred spirits” and is also close with AFL champion Nick Riewoldt.The trio attended Cobram Estate’s 20th anniversary celebration dinner and Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting at Matilda restaurant in South Yarra.
