I've done the weather with some of the children.It has been an honor of my life.
And I feel really blessed to have done this job," she added.Dean, who has been with Fox News for over 22 years, announced her departure in a video posted to X last month.She explained her struggles living with multiple sclerosis and said the early morning work schedule was affecting her health."Living with an illness, we don’t talk about this on TV, but getting up at 2:30 in the morning is a really tough thing, right? It's tough on your body.
I did it for a long time, and I probably shouldn't have done it as long as I did," she said."But I think I caught it at a time where I can repair myself a little bit.And part of that is, unfortunately, getting away from a job that was very stressful in a lot of ways, even though I loved it so much," Dean added.She noted that throughout her time on the show, she shared many major milestones on television, including her engagement, welcoming her two children and speaking about the difficult deaths of her in-laws during the COVID-19 pandemic.KATHIE LEE GIFFORD ADMITS SHE 'WANTED TO DIE' AFTER MISDIAGNOSIS AND MULTIPLE SURGERIES FOR CHRONIC PAINLawrence Jones, Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, Janice Dean and Carle...
