It was unclear when she would return to screens.
Barry has had a stellar few weeks. She co-hosted the show with Anika Moa, in which the pair took on anti-tattoo trolls and impressed viewers with their authentic and comedic presenting.
Then, on Thursday night, she issued a take down of Woman's Day for allegedly editing photos of the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William outside a hospital with their new baby.
