She continued: ‘Pls note Georgie’s “hands & heels”; a throw back to our PC days…& my Honey; at 17 hands ~ not bad for an old girl with a new hip – the both of us (no wonder I need the steps).’
Samantha’s UK jaunt comes after she announced her shock split with husband Richard Lavender late last year.
Sam and Richard’s separation was planned to be leaked to a Sydney newspaper in December, but sources confirmed the news to Daily Mail in advance.
‘Yes Richard and I have separated. All breakups are hard, but it’s somewhat lessened by the fact it’s amicable and we wish the best for each other,’ Samantha told media following the revelations.
‘I appreciate you respecting our privacy. I won’t be making any further comment.’
It is understood Samantha’s television presenter friends had been comforting the star behind the scenes for some time.
Samantha is no longer followed on Instagram by Richard’s two daughters, Sascha and Grace, although the former couple still follow each other.
Samantha started dating Richard in April 2019, and they announced their engagement in June 2020, before tying the knot at his property in rural NSW six months later.

Sam certainly hasn’t been resting on her laurels though, with the popular presenter currently filming the anticipated Nine reality series The Golden Bachelor.
Daily Mail exclusively revealed Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden, a 50-something infrastructure engineer and passionate sailor from Sydney, has been handpicked as the leading man for the upcoming n adaptation.
In exclusive pictures, Barry was seen filming the show in Sydney in March, and his cast of leading ladies have since been spotted arriving at the Sydney mansion where filming will take place.
Unlike The Bachelor and The Bachelorette which feature young men and women, the Golden Bachelor is targeted at a more mature audience eager to watch how those who have already experienced great love and loss are chasing companionship in their next chapter.
‘Bear is not your usual reality TV type,’ an insider told Daily Mail .
‘He’s charming, intelligent and has really lived a full life. He’s been through love, loss, and now he’s ready to open his heart again. Women are going to adore him.’
