Kate Gosselin and Kids to Star in New TLC Series 'Twist of Kate'
LOS ANGELES — Love her or hate her, Kate Gosselin isn't leaving your television screen.
The reality mom and her eight kids will star in a new TLC series titled Twist of Kate, the network announced Thursday.
On the show, the divorced single mother will visit with fans who have written her about their own life struggles, offering up advice and tips to them as she visits their homes and workplaces, according to USA Today.
"I look at it as a loose concept," Gosselin explained to the newspaper. "I want to be out there learning from others, helping to provide insight whenever I can, though I don't consider myself an expert on anything."
"She will be in that person's shoes. And more often than not, it's not going to be terribly comfortable for her," added TLC chief Eileen O'Neill. "She's game for things, but she also has limits and boundaries."
The first of Twist of Kate's 12 episodes will begin airing in late summer.
First up, Gosselin will revisit her family life without ex-husband Jon in a series of Kate Plus 8 specials, beginning in June.
So how does the single mom currently appearing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars feel about all the attention?
"The fact that people really support me and want the kids and I to do well ... is flattering," she says. "I never understood the importance of fans until we struggled and went through tough times."
