Since being arrested for drunk driving by police in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs last month, Kate Ritchie has not been seen in public.
The 44-year-old Home and Away actress made an effort to hide her identity while out on Thursday in Double Bay after losing her license.
Kate wore a sweater and a pair of tights as part of her all-black outfit.
The radio personality accessorized her look with a pair of black sneakers and an angled black cap that she wore in an effort to cover her face.
Kate brought her stylish carry-all, a white shopping bag, her phone, and other essentials on the outing.
Ritchie failed the random breath test on August 22 after being pulled over by police in her blue Subaru station wagon.
She was detained right away and taken to the Maroubra Police Station where she underwent a secondary breath test. The result showed a positive reading of 0.06, which is just a little bit over the permitted limit of 0.05.
Ritchie received an immediate $600 fine and a three-month driving ban.
Since then, Kate has expressed regret for her behavior and claimed she made a “poor decision.”
“Recently, I took a breathalyzer test at random. The test was positive, despite the low level, according to the post.
“I made a bad choice, and I am aware of how serious my actions are,” the speaker said. I sincerely apologize.
On Monday at 2:45 p.m. on Heffron Rd in Pagewood, police pulled over the former child star of Home and Away for a random breath test.
‘She was issued an infringement notice for the offence of Drive with Low Range Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol and issued a Licence Suspension Notice,’ a police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia.
Stuart Webb, her ex-husband and a former rugby league star, was busted for drunk driving five times between 2012 and 2019, the year they divorced.
Ritchie’s driving infraction occurs right before her upcoming return to television as a judge on Australia’s Got Talent.
Along with Shane Jacobson, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams, she will be a guest on the program.
Later this year, Channel Seven will host the TV talent competition, which will air after a three-year hiatus.
