MARIEL Rodriguez returned to “It’s Showtime” last Monday.
The 33-year-old TV host took a break from showbiz two years ago when she became pregnant with her first child with Robin Padilla.
Rodriguez was welcomed by co-hosts Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Jhong Hilario, Jugs Jugueta, Amy Perez, Karylle and Teddy Corpuz.
“Grabe sobra ko kayong na-miss. Nakakaiyak pero pinipigilan ko. Miss ko kayo, grabe, all of you (I really miss you. My tears are about to fall but I’m going to stop it. I miss you all so much),” ABS-CBN quoted Rodriguez as saying.
“It feels good to be back. It feels good to have a home to come back to,” she continued.
Rodriguez gave birth to daughter Maria Isabella Padilla on Nov. 14, 2016.
“It’s Showtime” also shared video messages from Rodriguez’s husband Robin Padilla and frequent co-host Toni Gonzaga.
