We had two minutes to prepare. Ahhh, thank you @hodaandjenna for asking me to co-host the show&#8230; Everyone was so lovely and kind, I had SO much fun doing it!! Love to everyone that tuned in, maybe we should do more??!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kelly reportedly walked out because she and her team were unhappy with her dressing room. <\/p>\n<p>\nA source told PEOPLE: &#8220;Kelly walked out because she and her team didn&#8217;t like her dressing room.

Many people at the show, inside and outside of the show, were impressed with how great she was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAn insider claimed to Page Six: &#8220;Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Hoda Kotb] without a guest host for the 10 am hour.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;She\u2019s beloved at \u2018Today.\u2019 She was getting the full hour, and Hoda\u2019s the biggest hype woman on the planet!

It\u2019s the oldest building. There are major space limitations, [it\u2019s] not glamorous. It\u2019s not fresh flowers, and candles and gourmet food. It\u2019s basically [a] white box.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/rita-ora-confirms-asked-guest-host-today-last-minute-1394709.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 February 2024 Rita Ora has confirmed she was asked to host the &#8216;Today&#8217; show at the last minute, amid claims that Kelly Rowland walked out because her dressing room was too small.
