Judy Ann Santos to Host 'Bet on Your Baby' on ABS-CBN, Says Sorry to KathNiel Fans

Soap Opera Queen Judy Ann Santos is again set to take on the role of a host via new ABS-CBN kiddie game show Bet on Your Baby. 

In a report by TV Patrol on Friday, Judy Ann Santos said that she will take a short break after her teleserye Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala. Rumors about her switching networks were abound recently but Judy Ann said she has not made any decision yet.

"Hindi ko pa masasagot kasi gusto ko muna magpahinga siguro a couple of weeks. Gusto ko muna ibigay itong peace sa akin. Kasi medyo nawindang din ako for the past few weeks. I think I deserve to just relax and spend time with my kids and husband," Judy Ann said in a press conference held Thursday.

"But doors for ABS-CBN will always, always be open. I will never deny the fact that ABS-CBN is my mother network, my mother station," she said. In fact, ABS-CBN has its newest franchise, Bet on Your Baby in the bag for Juday after she returns from vacation.

Bet on Your Baby is an American television game show that is hosted by Melissa Peterman. The series premiered on ABC on April 13, 2013 wherein each episode features five families with toddlers between the ages of two to three-and-a-half years old, will play to see how well they can guess their child's next move in order to win money toward their college fund.

Meanwhile, Judy Ann said sorry to Kathryn and Daniel's fans for keeping them waiting for their idols' newest teleserye Got to Believe. 

"Kung sakali mang nasagasaan ko ang pag-ere ng Got to Believe, I am really sorry. Sorry for keeping you [KathNiel fans] waiting this long but next week, mapapanood niyo na po sila [pagkatapos ng Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala]."

Judy Ann also clarified that the pressure from Got to Believe fans has nothing to do with her decision to cut her comeback series short. 

"It was me and the management [who decided to end the soap earlier] and pagbigyan na natin ang mga bata, this is their moment to shine. Ang sa akin lang I was gone for two years and gusto kong mamaalam sa teleserye ng taas noo," she said.
