Tyra Banks has quit Dancing With The Stars after three seasons on our screens.
The America’s Next Top Model favorite was named as presenter of the Disney+ competition in 2020, replacing Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews in the role.
She was joined by Alfonso Ribeiro as co-host for season 31 last year, but has now decided to step aside from DWTS for good.
‘I feel it’s time for me to really focus on my business and my entrepreneurship, and also producing more TV, but behind the scenes,’ she told TMZ.
‘I think it’s time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor.’
Joking that she had just dropped a bombshell, she said ‘Mic drop. I think it’s time, don’t you think it’s time?
‘I’m an entrepreneur at heart. … I think my heart, my soul, is into my business, it’s also into producing new TV, which we’re working on. We’ve got a new business show coming soon. But, I really, really want to focus on my business, and you can’t do that hosting a show. So you’ll see me creating things, not just hosting things.
‘From the ballroom to the boardroom!’
Well, if anyone can do it…

It is not clear whether Alfonso is staying on in the role, and if anyone will be replacing the supermodel.
Tyra has helmed the competition since season 29, which aired in 2020, but divided viewers throughout her tenure, thanks to some outlandish – and frankly iconic – outfits, and awkward mistakes.
Who could forget the wild moment that she accidentally declared that one pairing was safe, only to recall them back to the stage as they were actually in the bottom two and at risk of going home?
‘Dancing with the Stars is one of the biggest shows on TV, with a huge audience, and I really respect that,’ she previously told People Magazine of the gig.

‘I can’t come in with a battering ram and try to change everything. That would be a bad business decision and dumb leadership. So I’m not doing that,” she continued.
‘I listened to research, I listened to the fans, I killed half of my ideas and then I doubled down on some of them. We want to implement those ideas but still respect the show — and add a little pixie dust!”
Metro.co.uk has contacted Dancing With The Stars for a comment.
