The 43 year-old was recently booted off the hit US dancing programme and said she knew at the time that her dance with Tony Dovolani wasn't enough to get them through.
She told Us Weekly: 'I drew a blank [during the dance] and it was just one of those things. It's like taking a math test and you know all the answers and all of a sudden you go blank. We worked really hard for that dance and somehow it just unravelled.'
She added: 'This whole ride has been really emotional. A lot of late nights, a lot of early mornings, a lot of training, a lot of spray tanning - it's been very all consuming and that takes its toll on you sometimes.
'It'll be nice just to be able to stop and take a big deep breath and catch up with life.'
