The stars were initially stunned in silence when Carol barged into the studio after convincing her colleagues that she was still in France and played the first part of the show on a video call.
Jane then revealed she had tears in her eyes as the ladies greeted Carol and wondered how the hell she managed to keep them in the dark about her surprised appearance.
But due to social distancing measures, they were not allowed to hug Carol despite not having seen her for almost a year.
Entering the studio from the wings, Carol shouted, “I’m back! ”
” No! Nadia yelled, covering her mouth with her hands.
” I’m back! You don’t seem very happy to see me! Carol laughed.

“Oh my god Carol, I just wanna give you a hug!” We can’t give you a hug, can we? Nadia asked.
“I’m actually in tears, actually, oh my god, what’s going on !? How what? Where were you doing this in the first part? Jane asked.
Carol explained, “I’ve been back for over two weeks now, been in my 40s, like a nice girl, I haven’t broken any rules. ”
Jane asked, “So the whole time I’ve been doing WhatsApping for you, have you been here?” ”
” Yes sorry! I lied, I’m so sorry, I hate lying to people, ”Carol replied.
Nadia gushed: “It was worth it for the surprise. ”
Carol continued, “I’m here for personal reasons, private reasons, family reasons that I really can’t get in, but they were important and justified.
“And also for my own serious sanity, I was getting very depressed. ”
Nadia told Carol that she was so worried about Carol’s mental health that she considered stepping in and quarantining her so that she could visit her abroad.
