Amber Lancaster returned to work at The Price Is Right, where she helps to present prizes and pricing games with host Drew Carey and announcer George Gray.
She works among the show’s models with co-stars Rachel Reynolds, Alexis Gaube, Manuela Arbelaez, James O’Halloran, and Devin Goda.
As Monsters and Critics reported, Amber was on a brief hiatus from filming the show, celebrating her birthday, and enjoying a gorgeous vacation with her boyfriend.
The 44-year-old is also a mother to a young son, who kept her busy at home during her break.
The Price Is Right has also returned with a new season, bringing back the fan-favorite game show with weekday episodes and occasional primetime specials.
Amber recently shared a series of Instagram posts about getting back to the job and a realization she had about her time there.
