Celeb chef Colin Fassnidge allegedly caught driving after taking cocaine
Sydney celeb chef Colin Fassnidge has allegedly been busted driving through Sydney’s east with cocaine in his system.
Outspoken celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge has allegedly been caught driving under the influence of cocaine, after he was stopped during a random drug test in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
The My Kitchen Rules judge was busted just after 3pm on November 8, when police attached to the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command were conducting random drug and alcohol testing on Malabar Road, South Maroubra.
Fassnidge, 52, was driving his grey ute along the busy stretch of road when he was pulled over for both drug and alcohol testing.
A roadside drug test allegedly returned a positive result for cocaine, with a secondary test also coming back positive.
He was charged with driving a vehicle, illicit drug present in blood, and is set to face Waverley court in January.
Fassnidge first appeared as a guest judge on My Kitchen Rules in 2012 and has since become a full-time judge in both Australia and New Zealand, alongside co-host Manu Feildel.
Last year, the outspoken chef joined the Better Homes and Gardens program as the resident chef, while also working on a new show Food Diary.
The father-of-two made headlines in 2016, after he wrote in detail online about young chefs partying too hard and turning up to work hungover. From drugs and alcohol.
“I know ur little Johnny works hard and is a great kid !!!!! But his mate Larry pops 10 pingers on the sat and 4 bongs on the Sunday ....... Then he’s at work .......and cooks the the f**king bejesus out of the broccoli til it resembles a brown soup,” his rant starts.
“Which gets sent back and I have to write a sorry email ... now the 2 little f**kers want Tuesday off (eccky Tuesday) and I’m paying for them.
“I should have just gone to double bay w them on sat.”
Mr Fassnidge has been contacted for comment.
