Former Neighbours star Jodi Gordon volunteers at a food bank in Sydney… as her boyfriend Sebastian Blackler returns to court after being handed an AVO by police
Former Neighbours star Jodi Gordon is known for her dedication to charity work.
And on Wednesday, the mother-of-one volunteered at Sydney’s Foodbank Australia with Rachael Finch.
The 35-year-old actress helped create Christmas hampers for Australian families in need.

Jodi wore comfortable black pants, a purple T-shirt, jacket and black sneakers as she packed boxes.
After a long day of working, the actress was spotted drinking a warm beverage and speaking on the phone at the front of the warehouse.
Jodi’s volunteer work comes as her new boyfriend, Sebastian Blackler, faces court after being handed an AVO by police.
Police took out the interim AVO – allegedly to protect Jodi from Sebastian – following an incident at her eastern suburbs home on November 27, just one week after she went Instagram official with the British investment portfolio manager.

On the day of the incident, police were called to Jodi’s house in Double Bay shortly after midnight after reports of a disturbance.
‘Around 12.30am on Friday, November 27, 2020, officers were called to a unit at Wiston Gardens at Double Bay,’ a NSW Police spokesman said.
‘Following inquiries, officers from Eastern Suburbs suspended the investigation at the request of the victim. No further action is expected at this time.’

Police subsequently took out an interim AVO to prevent Sebastian, 30, from assaulting, threatening, stalking, harassing or intimidating Jodi.
He also must not approach her after drinking alcohol or taking illicit drugs.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Sebastian is alleged to have done any of those things, and police have laid no charges against him.

Sebastian appeared briefly in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court last week without Jodi, but accompanied by a lawyer.
The couple appear to still be an item, as they were pictured leaving Jodi’s home together last Thursday, shortly after he faced court.
Magistrate Michael Antrum adjourned the AVO application until December 9.
