August 03, 2024

KATE Gosselin has revealed her shocking new career move alongside Jamie Lynn Spears, three years after she was axed from TLC.

The Jon & Kate Plus 8 star was released from the network after she was found guilty of breaking court-appointed filming rules with her kids.

But Kate, 47, has finally made her return to the spotlight with a new TV show alongside other celebrities like Britney Spears's younger sister Jamie Lynn.

According to Variety, the TV personality will star in a new reality show called "Special Forces: The Ultimate Test" where "16 celebrity contestants are put through a set of challenges meant to emulate special forces training camp."

Fox Alternative Entertainment president Rob Wade explained: “We put them through the toughest test there is.

"They’re completely removed from society and producers. The staff sergeants control everything within the camp.

OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT

The reality star's new venture comes as a bit of a shock, as she has remained almost entirely out of the limelight since she was fired from TLC three years ago.

Back in September of 2021, the ex-TV star obtained her nursing license after moving to North Carolina.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Kate had gained her license on June 30th, 2021, according to the North Carolina Board of Nursing.

The expiration date for her nursing license in that state is March 31, 2023.

Because she previously had a “multi-state license,” Kate practiced nursing in Pennsylvania, which expired at the end of October 2021.

JON VS. KATE

Jon and Kate have been involved in a nasty custody battle after they divorced in 2009 after about 10 years of marriage.

Due to their court war, the co-parents split their sextuplets among their two residences.

While Kate had four of her kids, Leah, Alexis, Joel, and Aaden, 18, the other two, Collin and Hannah, also 18, went to live with their father.

Meanwhile, the exes' two eldest kids Mady and Cara, both 21, were left out of the custody agreements because they are both legal adults and have headed off to college.

SHOCKING END

In January of 2020, Kate revealed she was fired by TLC while speaking at a court proceeding with her ex-husband Jon.

The mother of eight shared the shocking news during a December 19 hearing at which a judge found her in contempt of court for filming her and Jon’s underage kids for a TLC special without his permission, according to Radar Online.

A source divulged: “Kate stated in court that TLC has terminated their relationship with her.”

She was reportedly let go after allowing her 15-year-olds Alexis, Aaden, Joel, and Leah to be filmed for the October 2019 Kate Plus 8 special, despite a judge previously mandating she first receives permission from their father.

There were no issues with Mady and Cara being in the program because they're both 19 and able to make filming decisions for themselves.

As for Hannah and Collin, both 15, Jon has custody of the two of them and they were not in the special.
