Samantha Armytage has updated her fans on her health after undergoing hip replacement surgery.
The Farmer Wants A Wife host posted to Instagram Stories on Monday to show fans that she was off her crutches.
The 47-year-old even put on a pair of heels – well, one of the pair, opting for a sneaker on her other foot as she continues to recover.
‘Getting back in the swing of things,’ the television personality wrote in her caption alongside the image.
Sam had the major surgery after suffering from a ‘severe’ case of osteoarthritis.
Earlier this month, she posted to Instagram to share post-operative photos at St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Sydney.
Sam shared pictures of herself on crutches as she detailed her recovery and gave fans an insight into the major procedure.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which sees tissues in the joint break down over time, and is more common in older people.
The former Sunrise star explained that she has undergone a hip replacement to treat the condition and reassured fans that she is doing well amid her recovery.
Recovery from hip replacements can be slow, with dedicated physiotherapy required.
She penned: ‘Hip, hip hooray. New hip, new me, no worries. A few weeks ago, I had a total hip replacement.

‘After a very active, outdoorsy childhood (& a skiing accident 30 years ago) I’d torn all the cartilage out of my right hip.
‘It was bone-on-bone & then became full of severe osteoarthritis. I’m so proud of how strong my body is & how well I’ve healed.
‘I’m now truly bionic, and my nearest and dearest are pleased to not have to watch me limp around in pain anymore.
‘Huge thanks to the wonderful nurses @stvincentshospitalsydney for the care, a lil’ bit of Endone (pic 5), heaps of rehab and all my beautiful friends for my flower-filled room!
‘Fun fact; there are 54,000 hip replacements done in each year, but I have to say, my surgeon Dr Michael Solomon is THE best.’
