As predicited: Daily Mail on the case of the absent Kate Ritchie.

TL:DR it offers no insight into her absence, just that she was in a bottle shop and later looking distressed in a park.

Probably looked distressed because she was being hounded by the paparazzi.

The article claims a source said she’d told Nova she was looking after her sick daughter.

It’s clear that Kate is battling some demons and for all the speculation about what’s going on, it appears that no one really knows and even Nova are playing it day by day. I’d be surprised if she’s back on the radio anytime soon. Hopefully she’s got a support network around her to get her the help she needs away from the Daily Mail’s cameras.

Yeah, I’d be surprised if she’s back on Monday. Probably wouldn’t be the worst idea for her to take a step back from media and focus on herself.

Every article on there is about her “looking worse for wear” because she’s either not wearing makeup or something. To have to be a woman in the media…

Fitzy and Wippa are having another Backyard Cricket match for charity at Kirribilli House. Normally held towards the end of the year, last year’s match had to be postponed because the ground was being landscaped.

First celebrity name announced today was Raygun and she was interviewed on the show this morning.

Kate Ritchie made a statement about her absence on social media this morning, basically citing mental health issues and asking the paparazzi to leave her alone.

It’s disgraceful that she has had to endure the paparazzi and the Daily Mail harassment. Hopefully the statement will stop their pursuit.

Tom Grennan’s new song “Shadowboxing” has received its first radio airplay in Australia (to my knowledge) on Smallzy’s Surgery this evening.

His fourth studio album, _Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn’t Want to Be_, will drop on August 15.

Elsewhere, Ava Max will be dropping a new song, “Lost Your Faith”, this Friday.
