Wheel of Fortune's Vanna White makes shocking admission about future of the show without her and Pat Sajak

WHEEL of Fortune's Vanna White has spoken out about the future of the show without her and Pat Sajak.

The co-host, 65, said she struggles to imagine leaving the show, calling it "depressing."

Vanna has presented the ABC show alongside Pat for 40 years with Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford as the program's original hosts.

Even Pat, 76, has admitted they're "closer to the end than the beginning."

He said in September last year: "I wouldn't bet on seeing us in, like, 10 years, I would say."

But Vanna told People: "I just visualize us just being there. I can't think beyond that."

"I can't imagine. Everybody relates Wheel of Fortune to Pat and Vanna. We're like Ken and Barbie, you know?" she added.

"We've been in everybody's homes for 40 years, so it would be weird having somebody else turn my letters."

The pair have already reportedly extended their contracts with the show until at least 2024.

When asked about retirement, Vanna added: "I don't even want to think about that. I mean, we're a team.

"That's depressing. I don't even want to think about it."

The pair were overwhelmed earlier this week after their stage was invaded by Disney characters.

That episode came a few days after a player took so long to solve a puzzle that Pat dropped onto the floor.

Vanna said she thinks she was picked for the Wheel of Fortune role with Sajak because of their "brother-sister type relationship."

She added: "I think when Merv Griffin chose both of us, 40 and 41 years ago, he saw something between us — a brother-sister type relationship.

"And I think that is kind of what it is. He saw that we would be able to get along, and we do. We are like a brother and sister team."
