“Dancing With The Stars” is set to return in the fall for the show’s thirtieth season, and host Tyra Banks spoke out this week to reveal whether or not judge Carrie Ann Inaba will be coming back to the ABC reality show.

“I hope so!” Banks told Entertainment Tonight when asked if Inaba would be returning.

“She was there way before I was,” Banks said. “So I’m gonna be begging her, ‘Please, Baby, please! You gonna be there, right?'”

Fans have been wondering if Inaba would come back to the show after she announced that she would be taking a mental health break from her other gig on “The Talk” back in April. At the time, she said she needed a break to “focus on my well-being.”

“I know you guys understand, health is the most important thing, so, I appreciate your support,” she said. “I appreciate the love and support from ‘The Talk’ family, and I hope to be back soon. Take care.”

As for the new season of “Dancing With The Stars,” Banks said that she is not sure if they will have a live audience again, as COVID-19 precautions have been scaled back for many live shows.

“We’ve been talking about it, back and forth,” Banks said. “[But] probably not, if I really think about ultimate safety… maybe not yet.”

Banks also promoted her special brand of ice cream, which is called Smize Cream!

“So, I came up with the name many years ago,” Banks said. “Smize [means] smile with your eyes, and I thought, ‘It sounds good with cream! Smize cream, passion for ice cream, there you go!”

The supermodel added that creating the company has been “an ultimate dream” for her for almost fifteen years.

“I was like, ‘I wanna create an ice cream company!’ It harkens back to all the ice cream memories I have with me and momma eating ice cream after school in the car,” Banks recalled. “But I wanted to make sure that there’s something special and surprising about it too.”

Smize Cream has seven unique flavors, which are: The Best Vanilla I Ever Had, Chocolate Barbeque, Purple Cookie Mon-Star & Me, Salted Caramel King, Caramel Cookie Queen, Strawberry BirthYAY! Cake and Brownies, I Love You.
