This time around, Julie took part in the cooking competition as a guest judge, something Julie has described as a "completely different experience."
"I absolutely loved coming back as a guest judge," Julie shared with Yahoo Lifestyle.
"You're in a completely different part of the compound before you walk on set, you're on the judges' side. And you're like, 'Nobody's deciding my future today, I'm deciding somebody elses' - although that responsibility is not so much fun."
Fans were delighted to see Julie return.
