LET'S PARTY!' American Pickers star Danielle Colby announces new project away from show that fans have ‘all been waiting for’
AMERICAN Pickers star Danielle Colby has announced a big gig she’s working on away from the show.
The History Channel star took to Instagram on Friday to share the news about her upcoming burlesque performance.
Danielle, 47, posted a flyer for the September 9 show, including a photo of the star in her full burlesque attire.
The flyer noted the venue, Riviera Theatre, in North Tonawanda, New York, and the American Pickers star’s lead role.
Also joining Danielle on stage are fellow dancers, Eye Candy Vixens.
Danielle gushed over the opportunity in her caption, pointing out that she previously skipped out on the gig for health reasons.
She wrote: “I was supposed to do this show this time last year. But this time last year I was so sick all the time and couldn’t figure out why. After going to the doctor and learning I had to be put into surgery, we had to make the unfortunate decision to cancel this show.
“But now I’m back and can’t wait to give you all the show you’ve been patiently been waiting for! Thank you everyone for your understanding this last year. Now let’s party!”
SCARY HEALTH ISSUE
Last October, Danielle opened up about her “incredibly painful” battle with uterine fibroids.
The scary health condition caused the TV personality to undergo a hysterectomy and be placed on bed rest.
And her recovery was far from easy, as she revealed she could not eat solid food for about 14 days.
“I lost so much weight so fast that my body could not muster up the strength to continue to heal properly,” the reality star told her fans.
She also shared that she tried to remain cautious while her body was on the mend.
“I’m careful not to wear myself down, but I need to be outside my house, for now, enjoying long walks, vintage shopping, grocery getting, etc.”
However, she confessed she felt “exhausted and down” from the procedure.
“Things don’t always go as planned so I anticipate that change is inevitable,” Danielle said.
“It seems that on my best days, I’m out and about. Usually trying to keep my body moving and my mind busy.”
SHOW RATINGS
Danielle has since appeared to be back to her old self, frequently sharing videos of her burlesque routines on social media.
She’s also been filming new episodes of American Pickers despite ratings being dangerously low compared to past seasons.
The August 23 episode brought in the lowest of the season with just 620,000 viewers.
But before that, viewership had been teetering since the long-running series received only 918,000 viewers for the season’s premiere episode.
The show has starred Mike Wolf, 59, his brother Robbie, 60, and Danielle since Frank Fritz’s firing in July 2021.
But the casts’ involvement in their Iowa and Nashville stores, Antique Archeology, aren’t equal, according to a store staffer.
A source recently explained to The U.S. Sun that Danielle is only present when cameras are rolling.
The insider revealed: “Danielle is only usually here for filming. She’s a picker now and she lives in Puerto Rico so she comes back and forth just for that.”
Danielle lives in Puerto Rico with her fiance, Jeremy Scheuch, and daughter, Memphis, who recently moved there as well.
