However, over the past few weeks, the singer has been taking a few days in between off the show or appearing away from the studio.
What has been keeping Kelly away from The Kelly Clarkson Show recently? Read on below to know more and whether it could happen again.
Kelly has been subbed for on the show due to ill health
Unfortunately, the installments without the host have been due to her ill health, as she'd revealed that she'd fallen sick during the taping of those shows.

On some occasions, the singer has shown a resilience to continue on with the show even with her affliction, appearing to host virtually while recovering at home.
Such was the case, for instance, in December when the cast of The Best Man: The Final Chapters commandeered the show, with the American Idol winner being there via a computer screen to interview them.
The star is now back and better than ever
It was most recently the case when Howie Mandel and Niecy Nash took over for the host, however all's well in the Clarkson household.
She returned to her hosting duties on Wednesday's episode and is slated to be back for the upcoming show as well, and given the nature of filming, is doing perfectly fine now.
