Kate Ritchie looked exhausted as she stepped out in Sydney on Sunday.
The former Home and Away star, 46, was seen at her parents’ house with a roast chicken and a cup of coffee.
Ritchie looked tired and puffy-eyed as she parked her car at the front of the property before walking to the house.
For the visit, she was dressed casually in a brown sweater, jeans and brown boots.
The actress was seen in the front having an intense conversation with her parents after getting out of the car.
The sighting comes less than two months after Ritchie looked noticeably worse when she was spotted heading to an event in Sydney.
The actress was seen stumbling as she tried to get out of her chauffeur-driven car in Camperdown, 2.5 miles from the CBD, in August.
The Nova radio host appeared to lose her balance as she got out of the vehicle, slid backwards and landed on the ground.

Ritchie’s driver quickly helped her out of the car, held her clutch and picked up her fallen keys from the ground before helping her back into the car.
The radio star seemed to see the funny side of it all as she laughed with her driver while clinging to her phone.
Ritchie is currently dating ‘high-flying’ financial advisor Will Skelton after meeting at Nova FM’s Singles Ball at Taronga Zoo in May.
The actress and her new husband Will, 30, looked absolutely in love in July as they enjoyed an oceanside picnic at Sydney’s Clovelly.
Will is a highly successful financial advisor for Canaccord Genuity, a financial services provider based in Sydney.
“They’ve been spending pretty much every night together lately,” a source told Ny Breaking Australia last month.
‘He told many of his colleagues about it. He just turned thirty this past week.”

The couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other during their beach date, kissing and cuddling as they sat on a picnic blanket.
The actress seemed absolutely delighted to be in Will’s company and laughed heartily as the pair chatted and exchanged jokes.
Ritchie’s budding romance comes after she called time on her relationship with boyfriend Chevy Black just months after they went Instagram official in May 2023.
The couple, who often made public displays of affection while out and about in Coogee, are said to have split around November.

Ritchie is trying to get her life back on track following her shock drink-driving charge in August 2022.
Last year she announced her decision to seek professional help after crossing the line 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 took a long time. I sought professional help, the help I needed. Sometimes enough is enough,” she said at the time.
‘Life has presented me with challenges in recent years, but I am not alone. I was lucky that I could take the time.’

Ritchie returned a reading of 0.06 – just above the legal limit – when she was stopped by police for a random breath test in her station wagon in Pagewood at 2.45pm on August 22, 2022.
She was fined $600, banned from driving for three months and apologized on Instagram.
“I recently took a random breath test,” she wrote. ‘Although it was low level, the test was positive.
“I made a bad decision and there is no doubt that I understand the gravity of my actions. I’m really sorry.’

In October 2022, Ritchie announced she would be stepping away from her radio show, before it was revealed she was seeking treatment at an exclusive drug rehab facility in Sydney.
In December that year, Ny Breaking Australia broke the news that Ritchie had entered an exclusive private mental health facility in Sydney to help treat her alcohol addiction.
She said in a statement at the time that the past year had been challenging and stressful, leading to an “unhealthy dependence on alcohol.”
