Kate Langbroek certainly has a knack for spotting quirky details in seemingly ordinary situations. 

And on Saturday, the radio presenter, 54, shared another bizarre tidbit on Instagram while she was enjoying a family trip to the Italian Alps. 

Kate uploaded an photograph of a painting depicting flowers in a vase, along with the caption: ‘This is the old painting in the chalet we are staying in in the alps.’ 

Did you notice it? Kate Langbroek, 54, found an unsettling detail of a painting hanging inside her chalet during family trip to the Italian Alps on Saturday 

‘Pretty sure someone drew a face on the vase with texta [marker pen]. Thoughts?’ she added. 

The painted vase, which featured swirling green lines and several unusual red squiggles, left many of Kate’s fans perplexed. 

‘Eek. Is this one of those things you look at and see so many things? Because that’s happening to me right now,’ one follower commented.

‘It’s a chicken bird type thing… but could be mistaken for a face,’ another added. 

Meanwhile, one follower surmised that the lines were actually ‘Quasimodo’s nose’.

She shared a photo of the display to Instagram last Wednesday, telling her followers that ‘all the names are European… except for one’.

There were more than 50 mugs for sale, with names including Ernesto, Eugenio, Fabio, Franco and Gabrielle.

But it was the one that read ‘Kevin’ that had Kate scratching her head.

While the other mugs featured names from continental Europe, Kevin is of Anglo-Irish descent. 

There was also a mug with the name David, which Kate didn’t mention. David is of Biblical Hebrew origin.

It comes after Kate revealed she had been stranded in Venice over the weekend after a coronavirus scare left the island city in lockdown.

The comedian, who lives with her family in Bologna, had travelled to Venice on Friday with her husband, Peter, for the weekend’s Carnival festivities. 

Speaking to Hughesy and Ed on Monday, Kate said that the streets and canals of Venice were ‘like a ghost town’ amid the health crisis. 

‘The news broke yesterday that they were cancelling Carnival today and tomorrow. That’s huge news,’ she added.

Kate made light of the situation by joking that the lockdown was a good excuse to extend her Venetian holiday, before later revealing she and Peter had secured a train passage to safety. 

The couple relocated to Italy with their four children – Lewis, Sunday, Artie and Jan – in January 2019 for what was supposed to be a ‘gap year.’ They have since extended their stay for another 12 months.
