Australian fashion designer Collette Dinnigan has taken on the challenge of the Celebrity Masterchef kitchen.

She told Deborah Knight even the stress and spotlight of a Paris fashion show couldn’t prepare her for the pressure.

“I can remember doing one thing where I was making mayonnaise.

“I make mayonnaise a lot, [but] I couldn’t remember how much oil to put versus eggs.

“It’s like you lose your memory almost, and once that happens you … lose your confidence, than you lose your nerve … and it becomes like a downward spiral!

“No one’s there to help you, really. You’re on your own.”
