Channel Nine’s political reporter Airlie Walsh enjoyed a day out at Sydney’s North Bondi beach on Sunday.

The TV journalist slipped into a black bikini as she took to the waves for a swim at the popular tourist spot.

Airlie happily took advantage of the warmer Autumn weather, choosing to soak up the sunshine seaside in her bathers.

Airlie looked in high spirits as she frolicked in the ocean solo, before returning to her towel on the sand to dry off.

She slicked her wet blonde locks back and wore a pair of white sunglasses during the outing.

Taking to Instagram with a selfie on the day, she wrote: ‘Sunday sans makeup. With all pigmentation, rosacea and freckles on display.’
