Her breakfast radio show was axed in January and she was moved into a national Drive timeslot.
And it seems the sleep-ins are paying off for Kate Ritchie.
The former Home and Away star looked radiant as she attended the Keli Holiday concert at Selina’s in Coogee, Sydney on Wednesday night.
Despite the event being held at a live music venue inside a pub, Kate dressed to the nines for the gig, wearing an olive green $1500 Zimmermann full-length dress with a pair of black heels and statement feather earrings.
the mother-of-one pulled her brunette locks back into a half up-half down style and accentuated her natural beauty with minimal makeup.
Kate entered the event from a side entrance with her radio show’s executive producer, Tom Ivey.

Also attending the event were Keli’s girlfriend, Abbie Chatfield, and Kate’s former radio co-star Tim Blackwell and his girlfriend Lizzie Baxter.
Tim’s appearance at the concert came just hours after he was slapped with an apprehended domestic violence to protect his ex-wife Monique.
Kate’s radio show – Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli and Kate Ritchie – was axed and replaced by a new program – Ricki-Lee & Tim – hosted by Ricki-Lee Coulter and Blackwell, back in January.
Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli and Kate were moved into a national Drive timeslot.
‘After 15 years of doing this breakfast radio show, the Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie show, they have finally completed their apprenticeship, and they’re going to be graduating to the national drive time position,’ Wippa said at the time.
‘4-6pm around Australia on the country’s best Radio Network, Nova. There it is, guys!’
Fitzy added: ‘Now, I know there’s probably a lot of people freaking out thinking that we were going to leave. We’re not. This is not a goodbye at all.’
‘This is the evolution of the show. We’ve been doing this for 15 years, and we have an amazing audience. We cannot do this without you, but we’ve been dropping you and the kids off at school every morning, but now we’re just going to be driving you home in the afternoon.’

‘It’s as simple as that, and the show will be Fitzy, Wippa, and Kate. One condition that we made, Wippa and I, was if we’re going to do this show, Kate Ritchie doesn’t get two names,’ he joked,
Not missing a beat, Kate quipped: ‘Well, Kate Ritchie’s not being dropped from the show! And I think that’s because I finally learned how to spell my name, so I don’t need to see it on the side of buses.’
Kate said she was ‘thrilled’ about making the move.
‘I’ve absolutely loved my time with the boys on Sydney Breakfast and I’m thrilled we now get to share our show with all of Australia,’ she said in a statement.
‘My morning alarm is ready and waiting to be set for packing school lunch and doing drop-off again with the beauty of entertaining our loyal listeners on their drive home. It’ll be an exciting evolution for all of us.’
