‘Jacketgate’ reporter Julie Snook marries actor Hugo Johnstone-Burt in lavish ceremony

And she wore white! ‘Jacketgate’ reporter Julie Snook marries actor Hugo Johnstone-Burt in lavish Blue Mountains ceremony… after her on-air scandal with Amber Sherlock made her a household name

She became a household name after her infamous run-in with Nine newsreader Amber Sherlock for wearing a white outfit too similar to hers.

But Julie Snook chose white once again for the ‘dress of her dreams’ on Saturday, as she married her actor husband Hugo Johnstone-Burt in a lavish ceremony at the Blue Mountains, NSW.

The Sky racing reporter, 33, and her husband were joined by 80 of their closest friends as they finally tied the knot, after being forced to postpone their wedding twice last year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Congratulations! ‘Jacketgate’ reporter Julie Snook has married her actor boyfriend Hugo Johnstone-Burt in a lavish Blue Mountains ceremony

‘It was an incredible day. Eighty of our closest family and friends together and, given the year we’ve all endured, it was even more special,’ she told The Sunday Telegraph.

Julie looked radiant for the ceremony, wearing a custom-made Velani gown with a gorgeous thigh-high split.

She enhanced her features with tasteful make-up, and wore her blonde hair in a subtle beach wave. 

Julie added that the newlyweds have no immediate plans for a honeymoon, saying: ‘We just want to enjoy married life. We will take some time away later in the year but for now we just want to enjoy this time.’

Hugo proposed to Julie while they were visiting her New South Wales hometown of Silverton in November 2019. 

The couple met at a Sydney pub in 2016.

The TV journalist shot to fame in early 2017 when footage showing Channel Nine newsreader Amber Sherlock berating her for wearing a white jacket was leaked online.

The footage showed Amber demanding Julie put on a jacket so the two could avoid both wearing white on TV at the same time.

Speaking to her producer, Amber said: ‘I need Julie to put a jacket on because we’re all in white. I asked her before we came on… Julie you need to put a jacket on.’

'It was an incredible day. Eighty of our closest family and friends together and, given the year we’ve all endured, it was even more special,' she told The Sunday Telegraph of her wedding

Julie fought back saying she hadn’t had time to change, but Amber refused to back down, snapping back: ‘Come on, I told you two hours ago.’

The sports presenter later appeared on air wearing a black jacket, and was the object of much public sympathy when the footage went viral.

Since the incident Julie has moved to Sky, where she covers horse racing.
