After appearing on a Discovery Health special in 2005 entitled Surviving Sextuplets and Twins, the network offered the Gosselin family their own series. Jon & Kate Plus 8 first aired on the Discovery Health Channel, lasting for two seasons before moving to TLC.
She made headlines back in 2009 when Jon and Kate announced their separation after 10 years of marriage. The show returned with a new format as Kate Plus 8 and it focused on her new life as a single mom. The final episode of Kate Plus 8 aired on Sept. 12, 2011.
While shooting the TLC series, Gosselin was a contestant on the 10th season of another ABC competition series Dancing With The Stars. Partnered with Tony Dovolani, Gosselin was eliminated on April 20, 2010.
