Magistrate Allison Hawkins on Tuesday convicted Bridges, handed her a $750 fine and accepted the incident was “humiliating” for the former reality TV star.

Bridges’ licence was disqualified for three months and she’ll have to drive with an alcohol interlock for one year from April 26.

“I would like to apologise to my family, my friends and my community for this gross error in judgment,” she told reporters outside Waverley Local Court.

“The consequences of these actions will haunt me forever.

“I ask for your forgiveness and I thank you for your support.”

Agreed facts state Bridges hit her brakes suddenly and changed lanes when approaching the random breath test about 11.30am on January 26.

Bridges told police she had used mouthwash five minutes earlier and that she had drunk alcohol the previous night.

“Police noted (she) appeared nervous, her hands were shaking and her voice was trembling,” police facts say.

After giving a positive alcohol reading roadside, she told police she’d drunk a glass of wine and four vodka sodas from 8pm the previous night.

Bridges, who was a personal trainer on TV show The Biggest Loser until 2015, has also authored books and magazine columns and has an activewear line.
