Samantha Armytage commits dangerous act in London as she goes bike riding in the city
Samantha Armytage is currently enjoying a relaxing holiday in London after filming The Golden Bachelor.
But the Channel Nine host, 45, committed a dangerous act as she explored the city on Tuesday.
Samantha shared a video to Instagram as she rode a bike through a park but she wasn't wearing a helmet.
The TV star also revealed how she almost fell off the bike, captioning the post: 'Both hands on the wheel! Nearly fell off.'
In the video, Samantha laughed as she turned the camera to reveal her scenic surroundings while on the bike.

The trip comes after Samantha was recently busy filming 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.

Vinted pro reveals 'sneaky' trick to help flog clothes you're struggling to sell
A professional Vinted seller has revealed the one nifty trick she uses to help flog hard-to-shift items on the app. Caroline, who hails from the UK, boasts 213,000 followers on TikTok where she regularly shares her top tips for aspiring vendors. The 49-year-old, who has made thousands on the app, introduced the video by describing the 'genius hack' she uses to cash in on unsold items. She explained at the beginning of the clip - which now has 15,000 views - that she had already sold three pieces that day and was preparing to send them. But before making her way to the Post Office, she will periodically scan the app to see if any of her listings have been favourited. Then she will contact interested buyers to see if she can entice them into making a purchase, telling them she can post items imminently if they buy. 'I will write a message saying, "I will be doing a parcel run this afternoon. If you are still interested in this item, I can post this out to you today so you'll get it super quick",' she explained. 'Then, I'll copy and paste that same message to everyone else who has favourited items yet to be sold.' The nifty trick helps her nudge transactions which would have otherwise gone unsold, Caroline claimed, adding that it was 'highly likely' that at least one person would bite. In previous videos, the thrifty seller said she once made £400 on the app in just one day. Several commenters agreed with the advice. 'I've done exactly this for about a month now,' one said. A second chimed: 'Great idea! Sneaky, but great! Others remarked that they also used the trick, with one gushing that they had sold five items doing so. Meanwhile, not everyone agreed, with one saying that they developed the 'ick' after sellers contacted them about a favourited item. Another admitted that they couldn't 'think of anything worse'. Caroline isn't the only successful secondhand seller to have cashed in on the Vinted train. Maisie, from Yorkshire, has amassed thousands of pounds selling garments and trinkets she's discovered at cat boot sales, charity shops and online pre-loved websites. Although it started off as a side hustle, she has now made reselling her full time career last year after earning £18,000 from flogging clothes. Now, she has helped others by telling them how they too can make a wage from the app - and according to her, it's very simple. Maisie said: 'I absolutely love buying on Vinted to resell on Vinted. It's so easy and it just goes to show the difference that a good quality picture with good lighting and a good background can honestly make.' She says that you should always list similar clothes sizes at the same time on Vinted, as people may browse your page and find other items that they like, resulting in more sales. Several commenters agreed with the advice 'They're more likely to get their money's worth by buying a bundle from you so it will boost your sales and your profit at the same time,' Maisie added. 'You're only having to ship out one parcel and the buyer is only having to pay one lot of postage and fees.' The seller said wannabe sellers also have to be careful about how they draft listings on Vinted - as sometimes a post can appear as though it was shared earlier than it was. In another clip, the reselling expert explained: 'If you draft something and then a week later you decide to hit live and publish it, it won't show as a new listing. It will show when you drafted it, which was a week ago. 'It will come up older in the listings, it won't show up at the top, it will show up as being a week old which will affect how people are looking at your listings because a lot of people will search for newest first.' Recently, Maisie revealed how she sold a dress for more than four times what she paid for it. She purchased a WoolOvers boho linen dress for just £3.30 on Vinted as part of a bundle from a seller. Maisie then ended up reselling it on eBay for a whopping £20.46.

English seaside holiday park reveals plans to open new Wetherspoons pub
AN English seaside holiday park has revealed plans to open a new JD Wetherspoon pub. The Haven holiday park near Prestatyn will be getting a new Wetherspoon pub called The Boathouse pub. 3 3 The design, according to the architects planning the site, will prioritise "natural light" and an "eco-conscious design". It hasn't been confirmed when it will open. Last January, Haven signed an exclusive agreement with JD Wetherspoon to operate at its parks. New Wetherspoons pubs will open at sites in Devon, Lincolnshire, Kent and Northumberland by the end of 2025, costing a total investment of £6.7million. The first JD Wetherspoon pub at a Haven park opened at Haven Primrose Valley Holiday Park in North Yorkshire last spring. The planning statement said: "This development not only supports the resort's growth but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability and accessibility, ensuring that Presthaven Beach Resort remains a premier destination for leisure and relaxation. "We believe this extension will contribute significantly to the local economy and community, fostering an inviting atmosphere that attracts both new and returning guests." The Haven holiday park is home to a heated indoor pool, outdoor lazy river, bungee trampolines, a climbing wall, crazy golf course and a 'jump tower'. There are also miles of sandy beaches and protected dunes full of rare wildlife. There are range of other places to eat at too, including Chopstix, Burger King, Cook's Fish and Chips and Papa Johns. The Sun visits Wetherspoons largest pubin Ramsgate Away from the holiday park itself, the seaside town of Llandudno is nearby and features an array of shops and arcades - especially on the town's 19th century pier. Rhyl is also nearby - another seaside town, in Denbighshire, Wales. The town has long beaches, with a lively promenade and family-friendly attractions. Rhyl also has the oldest miniature railway in Britain, offering a scenic ride around the Marine Lake. Haven Holidays' boss also has his eyes more on-site Wetherspoons pubs and rival takeovers. Plus, one mum also visits Haven holiday parks every year with her family… here are some secret areas guests don't know about. 3

Cost of sacking Ange Postecoglou revealed with Tottenham forced to pay out millions on top of £2m Europa League bonus
THE cost for Tottenham to sack Ange Postecoglou has been revealed. The Aussie boss made good on his promise that he "always wins things" in his second season by lifting the Europa League trophy to end the club's 17-year trophy drought. 3 3 3 However, a 17th-place finish in the Premier League backed up by 22 defeats - the most ever by a team not to be relegated - means Postecoglou is in a perilous position over his job. Should chairman Daniel Levy opt to give Big Ange the boot, the decision will see the 59-year-old manager take home a compensation package worth around £4million. And according to The Telegraph, that is ON TOP of the £2m bonus Postecoglou collected for winning the Europa League and getting the north London club into the Champions League next season. Postecoglou has two years remaining on his Spurs contract, with the terms of his exit being decided before he signed his contract to take him to the capital from Celtic. The report adds that the manager has now returned from holiday and should be receiving clarity over his future in the near future. He appeared to hint he wanted to stay at Tottenham's trophy parade after he declared: "All the best TV series, season three is better than season two." However, that decision will come down to Levy. While sacking Postecoglou will take around £4m on its own, the total cost of then appointing a replacement could see Spurs splash out roughly £10m. Brentford 's Thomas Frank is understood to be among the leading candidates for the position, along with Fulham boss Marco Silva. While there is the headache over the future of the first-team coach, behind the scenes the club are also going through a major shake-up. Levy has lost his right-hand woman in executive director Donna Cullen, who has left after 20 years of service. Elsewhere, Ryan Mason has also left the club to further his managerial career by taking up the vacant position at Championship side West Brom. They are set to be the first two of many departures this summer, which may include Postecoglou. The shake-up also includes the appointment of Vinai Venkatesham as CEO, who previously served bitter rivals Arsenal in the same role. Telegraph sources add that the moves could be the prelude to majority owners Enic pumping fresh funds into the club. Tottenham ratings: Bissouma dominates Europa League final as occasion gets to Udogie BRENNAN JOHNSON was Tottenham's hero as they finally ended their 17-year trophy drought in the Europa League final. Despite being without James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski for the clash in Bilbao, Spurs came up with a massive win against Manchester United. Johnson scored the goal as he helped bundle in from a corner in a tussle with Luke Shaw to send fans into dreamland. But Spurs also owe a huge thanks to Yves Bissouma who was totally dominant in midfield. At the other end, Destiny Udogie struggled to get up to the pace of the match as he was up against Manchester United's Amad Diallo. Spurs had just three shots, only 27 per cent of the ball, and completed a mere 115 passes over 90 minutes. But it didn't matter, as United never really looked like finding a leveller to take it to extra time.
