Samantha Armytage stepped out makeup-free as she boarded a flight from Sydney Airport on Monday, just days before her 48th birthday.
The 47-year-old TV presenter, who recently left Channel Seven, enjoyed a well-earned break as she headed on holiday to a mystery destination.
She looked effortlessly chic in a black vest and beige trousers, which she paired with brown sandals and a navy scarf from Louis Vuitton.
The former Farmer Wants A Wife presenter carried her essentials in a brown tote and a straw bag as she walked through the departures area ahead of her flight.
She showed off her fresh-faced beauty by opting to go makeup-free for the outing, as she pulled her golden locks back into a ponytail.
Sam’s trip comes as he is set to celebrate his 48th birthday on Wednesday – a major milestone following his shock exit from Channel Seven.
Sam became the face of popular dating show Farmer Wants A Wife last year after first appearing as a guest host alongside former presenter Natalie Gruzlewski.
However, Sam shocked fans last month by announcing she would be leaving Seven after 21 years and leaving FWAW in a major career move.

The 47-year-old TV presenter, who recently left Channel Seven, enjoyed a well-earned break as she headed on holiday to a mystery destination.
Describing the departure as “sad and bittersweet”, she told The Daily Telegraph she felt her time had come to an end and was excited about her future.
“I go by instinct a lot. I listen to my gut. I know when it’s time. I’m proud that I’ve supported myself enough to say, ‘I’ve done what I can do here,’ and move on,” she said.
“This is not the end. It’s just the end of this chapter.”
After surprising fans with the news, details emerged of the new contract that Sam is believed to have rejected.
A source claimed that Sam threw in the towel after two seasons as FWAW presenter because Seven wanted to cut her salary, according to Women’s Day.
“Sam wanted money similar to what Natalie Barr and Sonia Kruger have,” the source told the publication.

Sam shocked fans last month by announcing he was leaving Seven after 21 years and quit Farmer Wants A Wife in a major career move.
‘Sam was still getting money from an old breakfast TV deal, and that’s not what you get paid to host a reality show these days.
“She was asking for the same amount that Sonia gets paid for three shows. It wasn’t going to happen. Seven simply didn’t have the money.”
They went on to claim that Seven also refused to allow Sam more “creative control” on the reality show.
After 21 years at Seven, where his salary was once worth $500,000 a year, Sam’s agents are said to be arranging meetings with Nine and Ten.
