“It was a fair end,” he said. “Life is good. I have bounced back and I am feeling good.”
Cummins has kept a low profile in the months since the show came to an end, recently spending time in Queensland shooting for National Geographic.
He chose the Melbourne Cup to make his return to public life as he enjoyed the hospitality in the GH Mumm marquee in the famed Birdcage at Flemington Racecourse.
“I’ve never been to a Melbourne Cup,” he said in his trademark Aussie larrikin accent. “I watched Makybe Diva dominate three times in a row on TV and I’ve always wanted to come down and see something similar.”
Cummins opted to pull his trademark gold locks back under a hat and wore a suit for the event.
“There’s a time for everything,” he said of his outfit. “Never judge a book by its cover and never under estimate the Honey Badger.”
As for the future, and specifically his love life, Cummins said: “My love life is very low key, I am a bit gun shy mate, I am just hiding out.
