Kate Ritchie has broken her silence after images emerged of the media star acting erratically while picking up her daughter last week.
The Nova 96.9 radio host, 46, appeared dishevelled on Wednesday after she was spotted visiting a bottle shop and breaking down in tears at a park.
In a statement shared to Instagram on Monday, Ritchie said she has been struggling with mental health issues and will be taking a break from her radio show.
‘I struggle with mental health issues at times, which are deeply personal. This has proven to be a bigger challenge than I imagined,’ she began.
‘So I have decided to take a break from the show and the team who I love to focus on my health. I want to thank all of those who are helping me through this very difficult time. I love you. Thank you Nova for being there when I need you.’
Ritchie, who hasn’t been photographed her since November last year, went on to address the shock images taken last week.

‘This is also a problem many others are struggling with. They know what it’s like. The images of me taken last week show that I wasn’t okay on that day,’ she continued.
