Kate Ritchie has a tough year - splitting with her boyfriend Chevy Black and dealing with the aftermath of a terrifying stalker ordeal.
But the former Home and Away star appeared happy as she stepped out to attend Nova FM's Singles Ball at Taronga Zoo on Thursday.
The radio host, 45, looked half her age as she led arrivals in an elegant yet glitzy black mini dress which feature a silver flower feature at the bust.
But it was the single she matched with on the night that really made Kate glow.
A handsome man by the name of Will asked Kate for a dance, which seemed to make her night.

Kate, who late last year parted with boyfriend Black, looked smitten as she joined him on the dancefloor.
The radio star, who co-hosts Nova FM's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie, was earlier approached by Will as he held a single red rose.
The video of the romantic moment was shared to the Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie Instagram.
Dressed in a chic black suit with a bow tie, Will looked nervous as he went up to Kate while she was talking with friends at a table.

The pair appeared to instantly hit it off
Giving her his rose, he introduced himself and the two left the table to get to know each other better.
Fans of the breakfast radio show went wild in the comments to the Instagram post.
'Awww he's a little bit cute. Good pick Kate. Australia's very own Will & Kate,' wrote one follower.

The pair, who would often put on on public displays of affection while out and about in Coogee, split late last year.
At the time, Kate fueled breakup rumours by sharing a reflective post to Instagram which captured her living her best life with a girlfriend, and no mention of Black.
The pair looked to be going from strength-to-strength after debuting their relationship in February 2023 with pictures of a romantic picnic.
She also boosted her height with a pair or patent black leather heels
Kate later took her romance to the next level by introducing Chevy to her mother Heather and daughter Mae.
However, by the end of that year, Kate was single again.
Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie airs across Sydney every weekday from 6am to 9am.
