Julie Goodwin's Dancing With The Stars future is up in the air after tearing her calf muscle in two places during rehearsals.
The MasterChef Australia season one winner,53,was set to take to the dance floor last Sunday with dance partner Andrey Gorbunov,but was forced to withdraw from round one at last minute.
Goodwin said she was 'absolutely devastated' after being told by doctors she may have to sit this season of the show out.
'I was in enormous pain when it happened - sweating bullets. It was the kind of pain that you can't even sort of tell people "I'm Ok." Because I wasn't OK,I really wasn't,' she told Woman's Day.
'I had to be carried out of the studio,because I couldn't even put my foot down on the floor.'
Julie was told she by doctors that the injury was 'very,very serious'.
'When I got that news from the doctor,I thought,well "that's the end of that." I just felt shattered,' she added.
The TV chef said she 'put everything aside' and committed to being as fit as she could be for the show.
The moment Julie sustained the agonising strain was shown during Dancing With The Stars' premiere,with the chef appearing in the studio to discuss the accident
