Kate Ritchie, Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli, and Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald almost miss their flight to the Northern Territory as they rush through Sydney Airport

Radio stars Kate Ritchie, Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli, and Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald almost kept some passengers waiting at Sydney Airport on Friday.

After making their way through the terminal, the hosts of the Nova FM’s Fitzy and Wippa with Kate managed to get on their flight to Darwin after boarding had closed.

Kate, 44, looked ready for a tropical winter, wearing an airy loose-fitting navy shirt and matching pants.

The former Home and Away star wore her lustrous dark hair down and it swept behind her as she glided through the airport.

Her makeup was light and subtle, serving up a look of natural beauty fans have come to expect from her. 

As she arrived at the gate, she was wearing a statement handbag over one shoulder and a larger black carry-bag over the other.

Completing her holiday look, she added a pair of black casual sandals.

Kate seemed relaxed and carefree even as the final call for boarding had been made.

The boys were even more casually dressed, with Wippa in a grey T-shirt, blue shorts and sneakers, while Fitzy opted for black shorts, white T-shirt and black jumper with grey sneakers.

The radio hosts bustled into the plane and eventually made their flight to Darwin, where they are planning to host their ‘Fly Away to the NT’ special.

Once they arrived safely, the trio shared a photo of themselves to Instagram enjoying a beer on a yacht in the NT, captioning it, ‘It’s safe to say we are in love with the NT.’ 

It comes after radio star Tim Blackwell last month appeared to confirm rumours of a feud between himself and former Nova FM co-host Kate while appearing on the the Shock Jocks podcast.

When asked what prompted Kate’s exit, the 41-year-old responded: ‘That’s a question for her, I know nothing.’

He then added: ‘I think it ran its course and I think she wanted a new opportunity… and [new host] Ricki-Lee Coulter was around as well.’

Kate had quit the show following a long absence and stint at rehab for alcohol dependency.
