The British-born Jamaican discusses how she told her two teenage sons and her mother she had met her soul mate, and they were all completely understanding. The keen clarinettist attributes her girlfriend with inspiring her to live out her Masterchef dream, "I liken it to a big clarinet. If I'd been with my husband, I would never have auditioned for Masterchef; he would never have supported me through it. She suggested it." Hamilton came second in the final of the TV One reality cooking show to 25-year-old Nadia Lim.
