Carrie sensationally quit the CBS daytime show shortly after her good friend Sharon Osbourne was axed in 2021.
It also came as she was diagnosed with Lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, Fibromaylgia, and chronic pain after years of suffering. But she decided to stick with DWTS, which this year will return on streaming service Disney+, and told HELLO! that Dancing with the Stars is her "home base" and she always knew that she had to be "well" enough to be able to appear on 2021's season 30.
Carrie performed a trending dance from 2020
"How many shows make it to Season 30? I knew I wanted to be healthy and strong for this season," the 53-year-old revealed at the time.
"I never considered stepping back from DWTS. Although I will share that the only way I could do that was to leave The Talk. I was scared. And that fear turned to motivation and I worked so hard in these last six months to get well again."
Carrie also caught COVID-19 in December 2020 and she says it was a "gentle reminder from the universe that I needed to change how I prioritized myself and my health".
