Days after announcing that she’ll be taking over for Nick Cannon on America’s Got Talent, Tyra Banks has confirmed that she’ll return to host the new season of America’s Next Top Model.

 

Just this last season, Tyra made the decision to step behind the camera and took the role of executive producer and singer Rita Ora filled her spot … Tyra spent 22 seasons hosting ANTM.

 

Earlier this week, Tyra tweeted out how much she missed the show she helped built and create.

 

“I’m overwhelmed and humbled by the intensity of the ANTM fan base whose deep affection for the show led me to have a change of heart.  After giving it a lot of thought, I realized that remaining behind the camera wasn’t enough because ANTM is woven into my DNA.” – Tyra Banks

Fellow ANTM executive producer, Ken Mok, said this about Rita in a recent statement, “Tyra has always been the heart and soul of the franchise and her absence was deeply felt by our fiercely loyal fans who missed their Queen of the Smize.  We’d like to thank Rita Ora for being a great partner and total pro.  She infused this new iteration of ANTM with passion and creativity and we wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavours.”

 

The 24th cycle of VH1’s America’s Next Top Model is said to air this summer.
