Savannah Chrisley is showing she can be useful and stepping up to the plate as 52-year-old dad Todd unexpectedly falls ill. The 23-year-old "Chrisley Knows Best" star, fresh from admitting she has no clue how old her dad is as she wished him a happy birthday recently, is now taking over for her father on the family's "Chrisley Confessions" podcast, with the SASSY by Savannah cosmetics founder temporarily replacing the real estate mogul. Mom Julie Chrisley confirmed the news - check it out below.

Scroll for more photos. While Todd has made no mention of being unwell on his Instagram, with his most recent post coming as a Drink Beckett's promo, his being unwell was confirmed by wife Julie as she revealed her husband couldn't attend due to not "feeling well." Julie stated that Todd would be absent, with the blonde and her gorgeous daughter then discussing how Todd being unwell has affected them – Savannah did suggest her father being sick was affecting her day-to-day routines.

Savannah said she had postponed many aspects of her schedule to ensure she could fill in for her dad, then getting gushed over by mom Julie who said "she will just jump in there and do what needs to be done." Julie even confirmed not having had to ask Savannah to offer it up – the makeup queen just straight-up volunteered.
"Mom, I have it all planned out. I brought breakfast back," Savannah said, adding: "I'm gonna have my makeup done before the podcast."

Todd, of course, made major 2020 headlines for his health by barely scraping through after getting super-sick with COVID.
"Can we talk about this b-tch called corona?" he asked. "I have been battling corona for three weeks. I was in the hospital for four and a half days, fever between 100 to 103 [degrees], and it has been the sickest I have ever been on this Earth." Todd added:
"I am probably about 70 to 75 percent of what I normally I am, but that last 25 percent is kicking my ass." More photos below.

Posting a simple snap recently as she and dad Todd walked through a lawn field, Savannah gushed over her dad, writing:
"This photo may not be the best angle or the best whatever...but it’s THE BEST photo to me!! This right here...this is MY DAD...and he’s a man like no other! When I sit back and remember all the countless times that he’s carried me on his shoulders (literally and figuratively)."
Savannah has since found herself slammed for a tight jeans Marilyn Monroe photo. Scroll for it.
