Four years after the heartbreak of being told she was infertile, the TV presenter had some surprising news.

'I thought something was terribly wrong' the presenter says.

''I'm quite surprised they're going ahead with it. People need to take social distancing seriously,'' Carol-Ann says.

"It's time for New Zealand dance studios to get bloody creative and think about how we're going to manage this going forward," says Empire Studios director Claire Baxter-Cardy.
