Kim Chiu debunks rumors of leaving ‘It’s Showtime’

Filipino actress, Kim Chiu, has scoffed at rumors that she would be dropped from ABS-CBN’s noontime variety show “It’s Showtime”.

Kim and the other judges were asked about news items on the “Madlang Pi-poll” segment of It’s Showtime on Friday on September 3.

“Tatanggalin daw ako dito (I would be removed from this show),” Kim said, laughing. “Araw-araw kasi yun eh, ang sakit din sa ulo (I hear it every day, it gives me a headache).”

Host Vice Ganda said that a lot of people believe it and even get angry at the show because of it. Rumours have been rife that Kim would be removed from It’s Showtime after fans noticed she was not her typical upbeat self in recent episodes of the show. The actress also didn’t host her usual segments on the August 28 episode.

Kim became a regular host of It’s Showtime in 2020 and remains ABS-CBN’s biggest stars, rising to fame after being the first teen winner of Pinoy Big Brother, and going on to star in shows like My Binondo Girl, The Story of Us, and Love Thy Woman. (AW)
