TIYAK na matutuwa ang fans ng America’s Next Top Model. Babalik si Tyra Banks sa reality show bilang bahagi ng judging panel.
Inihayag nitong Huwebes ng VHI, na nagpatakbo ng series, na mapapanood uli si Tyra Banks – na nasa likod ng pagkakabuo ng ANTM at nagsilbing executive producer at host – sa cycle 24. Magsisimula ang production sa summer, at ihahayag ang karagdagang panelists sa susunod na mga araw.
Umalis ang matagumpay na makeup mogul, sa pagiging host ng ANTM at pinalitan ng pop star na si Rita Ora sa cycle 23, at sinabi sa eksklusibong panayam ng EW na matagal niyang pinag-isipan ang pag-alis sa palabas simula noong 2007.

“I was like, you know what, I’m ready to bring someone else in. I won’t say the name of that person, but I actually brought a different person to the network, met with them, and said, ‘This is the person I want to take the reins of this show,’” ani Banks. “It’s something that’s been on the tip of my fingers for so long, so it wasn’t necessarily difficult [to let go]. It was actually exciting. I wanted the show to continue; I wanted to keep it new. With me creating and owning a significant portion of the show, it’s in my best interests to keep it going and to keep it fresh.”
Kasunod ng pahayag sa pagbabalik ni Banks, pinasalamatan ni Ora ang creator at host sa pamamagitan ng sweet message sa Instagram at Twitter.
“Words can’t describe how much FUN I had hosting this show for you – it was such an honour – I grew up watching and loving the show it was a dream come true and I can’t wait for you to hear my new album! It’s TIME PEOPLE!!! Love the whole ANTM cast and crew and good luck for the future!! Love you @tyrabanks,” caption ni Ora.
“Thank you Tyra! Was such an honour and pleasure being on your show,” she tweeted. “Everyone welcome Tyra back!!”
Tugon ni Tyra, “Mizz @ritaora, you exemplify Business Boss Brand to the fullest! Thank you for all the amazingness you brought to ANTM.” (Peope.com)
