Kate Ritchie returns to Nova after six-month break

Kate Ritchie has reportedly returned to work at Nova 96.9, after taking a break from her on-air breakfast role in early February to deal with “mental health issues”.

The Australian reported over the weekend that Ritchie, who has been off-air since the start of the year, was “seen back at work and sitting in on production meetings at the radio station’s Sydney studios for the first time again last week.”

Ritchie is one-third of Nova’s popular Sydney breakfast show Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie, with Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli.
