It's April 6th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today. AI Powered and Star Driven. Gail Simmons, the judge from Top Chef, hit a rough patch during season 23 filming. Just 48 hours into shooting their third episode, she tripped on a high sidewalk and smashed face first into a boulder. Luckily, Dr. Said he was only bad bruising around her eye, cheek and nose, no broken bones or serious damage. Her makeup and wardrobe crew jumped in fast, using heavy prosthetic makeup and a pair of glasses to hide the marks completely. Fans watching the show had no clue anything was up, and she called it a total save by those pros. Gail shared the whole story on Instagram, posting before and after picks to give props to the team for their quick thinking. She said most of the crew couldn't even tell what happened, and she's super grateful for their skills. It all healed up perfectly in just two weeks, thanks in part to some article cream she swears by.
No long-term issues, and she's back to judging without a hitch. Top Chef keeps rolling every Monday at 9pm Eastern on Bravo, so catch the next episodes and see her in action, looking sharp as ever.
