Kate Ritchie made a flashy fashion statement as she left Sydney Airport over the weekend.
The Nova radio star, 46, wore $2,300 Chanel lambskin sandals with a floral maxi dress and a black cardigan.
The actress accessorised with stylish wide-framed sunglasses and heart-shaped gold earrings.
Kate tied her brunette hair back in a ponytail and highlighted her natural beauty with a light layer of nude makeup and lip gloss.
She looked to be in good spirits as she wheeled her luggage through the bustling terminal.
Rumours are rife Kate may be appearing on the upcoming series of reality TV show SAS .
An industry insider told this week’s Woman’s Day magazine that Channel Seven producers were considering Kate for the grueling Ant Middleton-hosted show.
‘Kate is ideal for SAS as she has the backstory they go for. She’s been through a divorce, an arrest and many tough times,’ they told the publication.

Kate Ritchie beams as she takes her dog for a walk in Coogee after her romance with toy boy financial adviser Will Skelton is revealed and friends say they have already said the 'L word'
‘Plus she’s a Seven favourite from her Home and Away days. The only thing stopping Kate is if she really wants to do reality TV. She’s only done it once, on It Takes Two back in 2007.’
Ritchie has been trying to get her life back on track after her shock drink driving arrest and charge in August 2022.
Last year, she revealed her decision to get professional help after she blew over the limit when she was stopped by police for a random breath test.
The ex-soap star said that after struggling with several personal challenges in 2022 she decided it was time to seek help.
‘It was a long time coming. I sought professional help, the help that I needed. Sometimes enough is enough,’ she said at the time.
‘Life has thrown me its challenges over the last few years, but I am not alone in that. I was fortunate to be able to take time.’
Ritchie returned a reading of 0.06 – just over the legal limit – when she was stopped by police for a random breath test in her station wagon at Pagewood at 2.45pm on 22 August 2022.

She was fined $600, suspended from driving for three months, and apologised on Instagram.
‘Recently I undertook a random breath test,’ she wrote. ‘Although it was low level, the test came back positive.
‘I made a poor decision and there is no doubt I understand the seriousness of my actions. I am truly sorry.’
On October 2022, Ritchie announced she was briefly stepping away from her radio show, before it was revealed she was seeking treatment at an exclusive rehab clinic in Sydney.
In December that year, Daily Mail broke the news Ritchie had entered an exclusive private mental health facility in Sydney to help treat her alcohol dependency.
She said in a statement at the time that the last year had been challenging and stressful which led to an ‘unhealthy reliance on alcohol’.
The former Home and Away star tied the knot with husband Stuart Webb in 2010, but the pair split nine years later in 2020.
