Kate Ritchie was spotted getting some pampering in Coogee, ahead of her upcoming presenting duties at the 2024 Logie Awards on Sunday.
The former Home and Away star turned radio presenter sat comfortably in a massage chair as she had a manicure and pedicure at a nail salon on Saturday.
The 46-year-old looked relaxed as she was pampered, clearly enjoying the time off ahead of Logies.
Kate was dressed casually in a long-sleeved blouse and a black skirt which she later paired with a black blazer for the outing.
She wore her hair up in a simple, elegant style, and appeared to be wearing no makeup, showing off her natural beauty.
Moments after leaving the salon, Kate was spotted on the streets of Coogee holding what appeared to be a magazine and some takeaway food.
The actress will be among the many stars performing at this year’s awards ceremony.
Kate will join Home and Away star Ray Meagher, actress Rachel Griffiths, Deborah Mailman, Celia Pacquola, Luke McGregor and Stephen Peacocke on stage.

The sighting comes after Kate recently revealed she is still making money from the Channel Seven drama, despite leaving the show 16 years ago.
Speaking on her hit radio show, Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie, Kate said she still makes money if scenes are reused.
“What do you get for repeats of Sally on Home and Away?” asked Michael “Wippa” Wipfli.
The former Home and Away star turned radio presenter was sitting comfortably in a massage chair as she had a manicure and pedicure at a nail salon.
Her co-host Ryan Fitzgerald added: ‘Do you get royalties?’
“I get royalties (as) they call them here for home and away games,” he admitted before adding: “Home and Away reaches more than 60 countries around the world.
—So, are you getting a check for $80 or something? —Fitzy asked.
—Yes, I think so… something like that —Kate replied.

Kate was just eight years old when she rose to fame in 1988, playing Sally Fletcher in the long-running soap opera Home and Away.
She starred on the show for 20 years and has since admitted she found it difficult to find her own identity outside of her beloved character.
Despite winning two Gold Logies while on the show, Kate previously said she still questions her own worth.
“People wanted to know me because of Sally, or I won awards because of Sally, or I got invited to big events because of Sally,” Kate told Stellar in December 2017.
‘When you can’t remember your life without it and suddenly it doesn’t exist, you ask yourself, “What is it about me that I find attractive?”
Kate eventually sought therapy to deal with her issues, telling TV Week in March 2021: “I really felt like I lost a big part of who I was.”
“It took me a long time to adjust to that,” she said, adding, “(Therapy) was what I needed at the time.”

Since leaving Home and Away, Kate has struggled to replicate the same level of success as an actress.
In 2008, she landed a small role in the second season of Underbelly, appearing in two episodes.
He then starred in Nine’s 2010 police drama Cops LAC, but the show was so poorly rated that it was cancelled after its first season.
Since then, Kate has devoted most of her time to radio and co-hosts Fitzy and Wippa on Nova 96.9 alongside Kate Ritchie.
