Banks spoke to TMZ on Thursday, revealing that she’ll be focusing on other businesses and producing TV. “I think it’s time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor… from the ballroom to the boardroom,” she said. “I’m an entrepreneur at heart… I think my heart, my soul, is into my business, it’s also into producing new TV.” She shared that she can’t fully focus on her business while hosting.
The supermodel first joined the reality competition show as host during Season 29 in 2020, replacing Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews, who were unexpectedly cut.
