Danielle, 48, reshared a throwback photo from May 2021.
In the promo, she posed with co-host Mike Wolfe, 60, as they stood near a red pickup truck.
Mike crossed his arms as he wore a brownish sweater with denim jeans.
Danielle donned a blue coverall as she flaunted the tatted designs on her arms.
She captioned the post, “Still trucking along,” – which means to move forward despite difficulties
‘BETTER FOR THE SHOW’
In the original post from three year ago, the antique expert wrote: “My best bud and me still together after all these years.
“I’ve tried to walk away, thinking it’s just better for the show and my crew if I move on to a new project.”
“Change requires us to step back and see life from a different perspective and not be stuck in our own limited experience,” she added.
Danielle concluded: “History is change. Change is history. And because of these changes I’m learning to fall in love with history again.”
The star’s throwback post came after the ratings dipped to a nearly all-time low, putting the show’s future in question.
THE RATINGS PLUNGE
Near the end of December 2023, Mike and Danielle returned to the program with co-host Robbie Wolfe, 62, and co-star Jersey Jon, 60, for the Season 25 premiere.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the ratings for the premiere episode, Classic Car Cemetery, reached about 723,000 viewers.
Viewership plummeted even further during part two of the premiere, Hidden Cash Stash, which had only 676,000 people tuning in.
It was the lowest premiere rating the once-beloved show has had in some time.
The U.S. Sun also revealed about 880,000 viewers tuned in for episode three, Mike and Homer.
The Season 24 premiere kicked off with better numbers, with about 943,000 fans watching on January 4, 2023.
HER SIDE HUSTLE
Meanwhile, the TV star has been focusing more on her side hustle as a burlesque dancer.
In mid-January, she performed as Daniele Diesel in the Tropical Sinferno Tour in Rincon, Puerto Rico.
Other burlesque performers at the event included Yulietta, Sylas Crow, and Menesis.
During her fiery performance, the TV personality wore a barely-there bra decorated with tiny red pasties.
She kept the theme going with a matching red headpiece and mask – complete with its own set of tassels.
The performer whipped a fiery cape over and around her head, while standing on top of a bar,
Currently engaged to fiancé Jeremy Scheuch, Danielle and her ex-husband, Chad Cushman, share a son, Miles, and their daughter, Memphis.
