Kate Ritchie, a former cast member of Home and Away, issued an apology on social media following her arrest for drunk driving.
Police stopped the former soap star-turned-radio broadcaster and Australia’s Got Talent judge in the Sydney suburb of Pagewood for a random breath test.
She claimed that after a test for alcohol in her car came back positive, she was escorted to the neighbourhood police station and given another test. Her second test result was 0.06, which was beyond the permitted limit of 0.05.
Ritchie stated on her Instagram profile: “I recently underwent an arbitrary breath test. Despite the low level, the test was successful.
“Without a doubt, I am aware of how foolish my choice was and how serious it is. Kate, I genuinely apologize.”

“Kate has been on pre-arranged leave for the past few weeks. After the survey break, she will return to the Kate, Tim, and Joel show. Kate is a seasoned broadcaster and a well-liked member of the Nova Network and Kate, Tim & Joel teams.”
Ritchie’s addition to the Australia’s Got Talent judging panel, which also includes returning judge Shane Jacobson, Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon, and How I Met Your Mother actor Neil Patrick Harris, was announced last year.
However, because to pandemic constraints, the series was postponed till this year, and it was revealed that David Walliams had taken Neil Patrick Harris’ seat on the panel.
The series was recently filmed, and its debut is anticipated soon.
