Kelly Ripa, the iconic talk show host, found herself in a rush to get dressed just moments before going live on “Live with Kelly and Mark.” As cameras began rolling, her co-host, Mark Consuelos, playfully probed, “Are you getting dressed?” Ripa, 55, candidly confessed, “I’m still getting dressed,” while making wardrobe adjustments on the spot. She humorously revealed, “Hey guys, I’m not going to lie, 10 seconds ago, I was not dressed at all. And now I’m sort of half-dressed.”
Consuelos, 54, couldn’t resist trying to steal a glance, jokingly saying, “Let me see, let me check you out.” Ripa comically waved him off, admitting, “No no, I’m missing a lot of things. I’m missing a belt.” Despite the last-minute scramble, Consuelos reassured her, “It looks good.” Ripa continued to fiddle with her outfit, quipping, “Look, it’s fine. We’re all together. I think my fly is up, we’re fine, we’re fine. Somehow we made it.”
The hectic start didn’t end there. As the couple settled in, Consuelos pointed out, “You still have a lozenge in your mouth, I have a piece of gum in my mouth.” Ripa amusingly explained the chaotic morning backstage, recalling, “You were banging on the door, and I kept screaming, ‘No!’”
