Kate Ritchie has recently announced she’s taking a short break from her Nova radio show, Kate, Tim & Joel.
Naturally, there was plenty of speculation considering she’d recently been fined for a DUI. However, Ritchie has opened up about how “supportive,” Nova has been in a podcast episode that just dropped.
The Queen of Summer Bay explained on New Corp’s The Juggling Act podcast, and news.com.au reported she said: “It was a really hard decision because I’ve been working since I was an eight-year-old child, and I think that I thrive by having a schedule every day.
“I am not good at just sitting with myself. I have done so many great things this year, but it was just time to have confidence in saying, ‘this is what I need.’
Ritchie added: “I’m not going anywhere, and I suppose I’m in a very fortunate position that Nova has been completely supportive.
“They are completely supportive and generous with saying, if this is what you need, we want you back in 2023. So go and do it.”
