Brooke Burke-Charvet knows just how Kelly Ripa feels.
The model and TV host told ET on Thursday that she would love to throw her hat into the ring for the gig as Ripa’s new Live!
co-host, and also said that she sympathizes with the drama surrounded
Michael Strahan’s surprising departure from the daytime talk show.
“I
love Kelly… and you know what, also, I feel her,” Burke-Charvet told ET
at the Operation Smile Gala in New York City. “I had a similar
experience at ABC, sort of blindsided, and, you know, I think she's
handling it really well. I fully understand what she's going through and
woman to woman, [I’ve] been there.”
The model and upcoming Celebrity Apprentice contestant co-hosted Dancing With the Stars
for eight seasons between 2010-13 before being replaced by Erin Andrews
in a decision that shocked fans and Burke-Charvet herself.
“Weird
day….Shocking pre-season elimination #DWTS…ME,” she tweeted in February
2014. “@Tom_Bergeron didn't even read my name. I won't be returning to
the show this season.”
Since
news broke of Strahan’s departure, rumors have run rampant about who
might step in as Ripa’s co-host. Andy Cohen, Neil Patrick Harris, and
Anderson Cooper have been floated as possible replacements, but
Burke-Charvet is ready to make the show a female-powered force to be
reckoned with!
“I’d love to get next to Kelly,” she told ET.
