However, in recent years, Banks has turned her attention towards entrepreneurship and has been working on several exciting projects.

When asked to explain if she was departing from DWTS, Banks, who also served as the series’ executive producer, replied. “Don’t you think it’s time? Yeah, I think it’s time.”

She also added, “I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I think my heart, my soul, is into my business. It’s also into producing new TV. But I want to focus on my business, and I can’t do that by hosting a show.”
