It was announced earlier this week that beloved Dancing with The Stars host Tom Bergeron had been fired from the show after 15 years. Many fans were deeply upset by the news, as ABC said they were headed in a new "creative direction."
Now, it has been announced that Tyra Banks will be hosting the next season of the iconic dance show.
"Just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me.It's been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career. I'm grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made," he wrote.
It was announced Wednesday morning that Tyra Banks will be the solo host of the upcoming season of Dancing with The Stars.
In addition to hosting the modelling competition show, Tyra had her own talkshow in the 2000's and hosted a season of America's Got Talent!
In a news release obtained by CNN Tyra expressed her excitement for her upcoming gig.
"I've been a fan of 'DWTS' since its beginning ... The fun mixed with raw emotion, seeing celebrities push past their comfort zones, the sizzling dance performances ... it's always transported me to my days of turning it up 10 notches on the catwalk."
The reaction to the news has been mixed on social media, but I think Tyra will do a great job! What do you think?
