An emotional Valerie Bertinelli took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal she won't be returning for the next season of Kids Baking Championship.

In the heartbreaking video, the actor, who has cohosted the show with Duff Goldman since 2015, noted that while she understands the decision from a business standpoint, the news still "really hurt."

“It really hurt my feelings, and I know it’s not supposed to."
“Logically, I know that it’s business ― budget cuts, right? But it really hurt my feelings to know that I’m not going to be asked back to be on ‘Kids Baking Championship.’ Really sucks.”

Bertinelli shared that the season 12 episodes currently being aired were filmed in 2022, what she referred to as the “apex year of hell.”

The One Day At A Time star, who was going through a divorce from her second husband Tom Vitale at the time, continued:

“Without sounding like a drama queen, the show saved my life."

The actor added that she wished she had the opportunity to tell her colleagues on the show “what they mean to me" and also delivered a special message to future bakers.

“Even though I won’t be there, I’ll be with you in spirit and I just want you to remember this: You are there for a reason."
"You’re some of the best bakers in America right now. And if you don’t make it to the next round remember, please always remember this: It’s not because you’re not a good baker, you just had a bad day."
"So always, always believe in yourself. Please do that for me and keep baking. I’ll miss you guys.”

'Wuthering Heights' Film Casting Director Irks Fans After Justifying Casting Decisions By Claiming 'It's Just A Book'

It was recently announced that Wuthering Heights, the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, is being adapted for the screen at Warner Bros. Pictures. The leading director is Emerald Fennell, and the casting director is Kharmel Cochrane, who was involved in the award-winning Nosferatu and Saltburn.

For those who got through high school and college without having to read the novel, it's a dark, psychological thriller with Gothic horror undertones—and also a love story. That's the power of Emily Brontë, who published just one novel in her lifetime.

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.
