'My doctors want me to see how many people I actually come in contact with,' Roberts said.

'How my body reacts to the stimulation, that's code word for stress, of being in the studio environment.'

She added: 'My skin is very sensitive and so we have to see how it reacts to the studio lights. My vision is still a little blurry from the treatment. All of this is getting better day by day so that is the next step.'

Robin has openly shared her battle with the disease with viewers through tweets, phone calls, and live-cross interviews on GMA over the last few months.

She recently thanked her fans for their support, saying: 'GMA viewers - your messages, prayers and well wishes have given me an enormous amount of strength and hope.'
