Tyra Banks, 49, says she is leaving her hosting duties at Dancing With The Stars trends now

Tyra Banks says she will be leaving her high-profile TV job soon.

The model told TMZ on Thursday that she wants to exit her hosting duties for the hit Disney+ competition show Dancing With The Stars.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model - who glowed during Paris Fashion Week - told the site that she would like more time to focus on her many businesses. 

The model replaced Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews as host of Dancing with the Stars during the show's season 29 in 2020. 

The site talked to Banks when she was leaving Whole Foods market in Santa Monica, California.

'I feel it's really time for me to focus on my business and my entrepreneurship, and also producing more TV — but behind the scenes,' she remarked to the site.

'I think it's time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor. ... from the ballroom to the boardroom!'

When asked if she was really leaving the hit dance show she asked a question.

'Don't you think it's time? Yeah, I think it's time,' she said.

Then she explained: 'I'm an entrepreneur at heart.

'I think my heart, my soul, is into my business, it's also into producing new TV,' she said; she is also a producer on DWTS.

'But, I really, really want to focus on my business, and you can't do that hosting a show.'

She recently launched her SMiZE & Dream ice cream internationally. And she wants to open it in the US.

Her earlier credits are America's Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show.
