Kate Ritchie breaks her social media silence as she takes time off from her Nova radio gig to focus on her mental health after she was caught on camera in her very public meltdown

Kate Ritchie has returned to social media after images emerged of the media star acting erratically while picking up her daughter.

Now, more than one week after releasing a statement regarding her dealing with mental health struggles, the former Home and Away star has resurfaced on Instagram to plug her upcoming ABC series, The Role of A Lifetime. Images taken on Wednesday showed Ritchie driving a red Hyundai i30 to a BWS bottle shop near her home shortly after 3pm before picking up her daughter Mae from school and heading to a nearby park. Handing her daughter her phone through the rear passenger window, Ritchie then walked around to the back of the vehicle – holding an arm out on the car as she got into the driver's seat and drove home.
