Kelly Clarkson’s Been MIA And Fans Are Getting Worried

Kelly Clarkson has been missing her talk show for a week and fans are worried that there’s something really wrong with the famed singer.

It all started when Clarkson didn’t step out as the host of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on Monday, March 3. Her guest was actor Simu Liu, who let the audience know he was going to host. Liu had only found out minutes before the show was to start, People magazine reported.

“Kelly isn’t able to make it today. We’re sending her our very best,” Liu told the audience. “I did not know that I was doing this until about five minutes ago when I arrived to promote my new movie ‘Last Breath.’”

“I’m here now, and look, I’m not one to back down from a challenge,” he added.

Clarkson was back to host on Tuesday, March 4, and made no mention of her absence. She then hosted the show once more on Wednesday, March 5, with guests Jason Derulo and Nora Fatehi, who were promoting their musical collaboration “Snake,” the outlet noted.

However, that was the last time anyone saw the host on the show, with various celebrities stepping in to helm in the days since. Guests are expected to host at least through Friday, March 14, according to the schedule.

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. stepped in for Clarkson on March 6.

“Kelly’s out for the day,” he said. “I’m back. You’re in good hands. I was here about a week ago, I think they brought me back because of my resemblance to Kelly. You need to squint to see it, though.”

Actress Wanda Sykes and singer Josh Groban co-hosted the show on March 7.

“It’s good to be here at Kelly’s show. She asked if I could co-host, and I said, ‘Absolutely, Kelly. There’s nothing I’d rather be doing on my birthday than daytime TV,'” Sykes said.

On March 10 and 11, Brooke Shields took over, and told viewers that it was “so nice” to be filling in “again” for Clarkson.

There has been no public message from Clarkson or anyone else on the show to explain the popular daytime host’s absence, and fans have taken to social media to say they are concerned.

“Where is Kelly, we are worried sick about her??” one person asked.

Another added, “Is Kelly okay?”

While a third person wrote, “Low key worried about Kelly Clarkson. Hope everything’s ok.”

“When will Kelly be back?” a fourth person asked.
