FORMER Home and Away star Kate Ritchie has taken a trip down memory lane, getting dressed up in her old Summer Bay school uniform.

The 37-year-old star, who is now a Nova radio host, transported her co-hosts Tim Blackwell and Marty Sheargold back to 1996 on yesterday afternoon’s show, channelling her old character Sally Fletcher who she played on the hit soap for 20 years.

The Nova team shared a photo of Blackwell and Ritchie on the show’s Instagram page with the caption, “Today we took the show back to 1996, the guuuuuyyys even dressed the part!”.

Ritchie uploaded a separate selfie in her old tartan uniform, writing, “Am I really doing this?! @katetimmarty take a trip back to 1996”.

While the actor was a veteran on the show, the flashback snap proves Kate Ritchie has hardly changed since her soapie days.

Her trim figure and luscious brown locks show the mum-of-one looking as young and glamorous as ever.
