She recently underwent a glamorous makeover ahead of filming for The Golden Bachelor.
And Samantha Armytage is embracing her stunning glow up.
The Channel Nine host turned heads as she strode through Sydney Airport over the weekend.
The TV star, 45, was having a very good hair day, with her blonde locks expertly parted and blow-waved.
Samantha slipped into casual chic flying attire - a pair of baggy jeans, a white T-shirt and an on-trend beige bomber jacket.
She wore some beige and white trainers on her feet and accessorised with large chunky hoop earrings.
She was glowing in minimal makeup - accentuating her features with a light application of foundation and bronzer.
It was unclear what Samantha's destination was, but the star was checking in for an international flight.
It comes after Samantha has been busy with filming for The Golden Bachelor.
Cameras have officially started rolling on the Channel Nine dating show for older, single romantics looking for a second shot at love.
Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed Barry 'Bear' Myrden, a 50-something infrastructure engineer and passionate sailor from Sydney, has been handpicked as the leading man for the upcoming Australian adaptation.
In exclusive pictures, Barry was seen filming the show in Sydney in March, and his cast of leading ladies have since been spotted arriving at the Sydney mansion where filming will take place.
Barry, a father-of-three and a respected professional in the tech industry, currently works in Data Centre Management for Woolworths Group.
With decades of experience in his field, he has held senior roles at major companies like Macquarie Bank and the NSW Port Authority.
But while his career has flourished, sources close to Daily Mail Australia revealed his personal journey has been marked by tragedy as Barry is is widowed.
'Bear is always complaining that his boys are saying that he is bringing around the wrong kind of girls that are just too young and hot for him,' one friend revealed.
'We were always saying that he needs to be put on a show like MAFS, so seeing him up for the Bachelor role is no surprise.'
Despite his corporate background, Barry is far from your typical office-bound executive.
A passionate sailor, he has competed in high-profile races like the Sydney to Hobart.
In one photo captured during one of his recent sailing ventures, Barry looked handsome and rugged as he manned a yacht.
Unlike The Bachelor and The Bachelorette which feature young men and women, the Golden Bachelor is targeted at a more mature audience eager to watch how those who have already experienced great love and loss are chasing companionship in their next chapter.
'Bear is not your usual reality TV type,' an insider told Daily Mail Australia.
'He's charming, intelligent and has really lived a full life. He's been through love, loss and now he's ready to open his heart again. Women are going to adore him.'
Local fans of the The Golden Bachelor have been calling for an Australian version since the US version premiered last year to critical acclaim.
Producers are keeping tight-lipped about the contestants vying for Barry's heart, but if the US series is anything to go by the show promises to deliver a mix of heartwarming moments, deep connections and unexpected twists.
