QVC has shared a video of beloved personality David Venable on Sunday to tide concerned fans over as they await his return.
The fan-favorite chef abruptly missed Sunday’s broadcast as his mom was hospitalized.

Yet, the video did not stop fans from feeling David’s absence when QVC posted the Instagram clip of him the first day he was out.
In the clip, David wore his signature apron with his name on it and cooked up a country seafood boil.
“We are making a really delicious country seafood boil, and you can check out the recipe by checking out QVC-plus,” he told his fans.
The QVC star posed with his seafood boil, which did look absolutely delicious.
“@davidvenableqvc’s Country Seafood Boil is a real catch,” QVC’s caption read, reminding fans they could still watch David via streaming.
‘WE MISS YOU!’
Fans flooded into the comments section wishing David and his mom their best and wishing he’d come back to QVC.
“David, we miss you, sending love,” one fan wrote.
“Missed you today David Prayers for you and your mom n family” wrote antoher.
“Missing you,” wrote a third. “Sending you, your sweet mom Sarah and your whole family prayers, love, and healing positive energy. I hope her doctors can find out the source of her pain and begin treatment to heal her.”
Currently, Mary DeAngelis is filling in for him and his official return date is unknown.
DAVID’S MOM HEALTH SCARE
On Friday, David, 59, shared that his mother, Sarah, is in a Charlotte, North Carolina hospital.
He said he and his brother were by her side after she suffered from “abdominal pain and dehydration.”
He posted to his followers, “I’ll miss my shift on QVC tonight and tomorrow.”
Ideally, that will be the most he will miss, though as much became less guaranteed after his most recent update.
He continued, “I got to NC fine last night & have spent the day with Mom at the hospital. They have run many tests & have determined that her organs are fine … now we are turning our attention to her abdominal pain.”
“Her appetite is not back yet but we are encouraged by today’s events. Everything is step-by-step. She is napping now and getting some much-needed rest.”
“Thanks again for all of your prayers & good wishes. I’ve shared them with Mom & she is most grateful. More updates coming soon,” David ended.
“Mom Update #3. My mother is still under the weather and I’m staying with her in NC for a few more days. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes and I will keep you updated. Thank you all again!” David wrote in his most recent post on Saturday.
QVC FAVORITE
David has hosted In the Kitchen with David on QVC since 2009.
The chef is considered one of the shopping channel’s most addicting hosts, and his striking height (6 feet 6 inches) does not hurt the appeal.

He has also written cookbooks based on the show and is now a staple on the shopping network.
He has worked for QVC since 1993 and began his career on the show by promoting gourmet food products.
As time went on, David found his wheelhouse and began to host his own segment on the channel.
