 Sad news: The 41-year-old said the twenty-second cycle would be the last

Tyra Banks has announced that the hit show America's Next Top Model will be ending at the conclusion of the current 22nd season.
the 41-year-old supermodel wrote on Twitter that it will likely not be returning to airwaves with new episodes after the finale.


'TYRA MAIL! Thinking #ANTM22 should be our last cycle. I truly believe it's time. May your pics be forever fierce. Keep on Smizing!' she wrote, signing the tweet with a yellow heart emoji and her name. 


End of an era: Tyra Banks announced on social media today that she will not be doing another season of America's Next Top Model, a show she launched in 2003


She posted a lengthier message later on Instagram, accompanying a picture of the number 22.

'Yeah, I truly believe it's time,' she wrote. 'Our diehard fans know we've expanded the definition of beauty, presented what Flawsome is, tooched and booched and boom boom boomed, shown the world how to show their neck, rocked couture/catalogue/commercial poses, found our (and your) light, strutted countless runways, gone on tons of go-sees, added guys to the girls mix, and traveled around the globe and back again. Yeah, it's time. It really is. [sic]' 
Tyra, of course, had a series of signature catchphrases that she introduced on the show. 'Flawsome', which she invented last year, describes someone who is awesome even with her flaws. 'Tooch' and 'booch' are words used to explain how a girl or a guy might stick out his or her behind for a photo.
In today's Instagram post, she went on to say that she is 'SO proud' of what the show has done, bringing the world of modeling to the masses.

Major impact: In her Instagram announcement, she listed many of the show's accomplishments, which have included introducing many words - like 'smizing', which is smiling with your eyes - into the lexicon
