The 44-year-old was brought to Maroubra police station for a second test where she allegedly returned a reading of 0.06 just over the legal limit.

The positive reading is considered low range.

Ritchie has since issued an apology on Instagram.

"Recently I undertook a random breath test. Although it was low level, the test came back positive," she wrote.

"I made a poor decision and there is no doubt I understand the seriousness of my actions.

"I am truly sorry."

Ritchie has been fined $600 and had her licence suspended for three months.
