The night before her big day, Ginger took to Instagram and wrote: "Having trouble falling asleep. Feels like the night before the first day of school. Because... I'll be back in the GMA studios tomorrow for the first time in almost a year and a half."
On the day itself, she was even more joyous and posted a TikTok video from her dressing room, in which she was dancing and getting glammed up for the occasion. "We are back baby!" she wrote. "Thanks to the magic makers for getting me right first day back in studio."
Ginger delivered some sass in a chic sleeveless top teamed with the prettiest pair of blush-coloured, Express pants and heels. Her fans were overjoyed to see her back and wrote: "I love your style. You look so gorgeous," and, "welcome back, mama".
