Kelly Ripa calls out Mark Consuelos' questionable wardrobe choice during live show

Kelly Ripa was a bit concerned over her husband Mark Consuelos' wardrobe choice on their hit show, Live with Kelly and Mark, joking that his shirt could even lead to a health code violation.

During Wednesday's episode of the morning show, the TV host could not stop herself from talking about Mark’s look as he appeared on the show wearing an extremely tight white shirt.

Kelly joked while looking at Mark, “Happy hump day, everybody. Speaking of hump day, my goodness. Look at you.”

Mark then explained, “I know, I think I took this from your wardrobe. It's a little tight. It fit a month ago."

“Well, a month off will do that to a person. You look amazing; I'm not complaining,” Kelly replied before adding, “Not complaining, I just don't want to be hit with an FCC violation.”

Elsewhere during the show, Mark noticed how tight the shirt looked on the studio monitor.

“By the way, this shirt is very tight," he acknowledged, "I'm looking at the monitor, oh my gosh."

Kelly then struck Mark with another witty remark, “If you think those are tight, you should see the pants."

She then recalled seeing Mark in the outfit shortly before the show began.

Kelly shared, “When I came into the hallway and I saw you standing there, I was like, 'Oh no."

“I mean, 45 seconds before we go on the air, she's like, 'Oh my god.' You can't do that to a man,” Mark responded.

“It's an amazing reaction. I mean, listen, I'm very grateful,” Kelly remarked.

For those who are unaware of the duo, Kelly and Mark have been hosting the popular morning talk show, Live with Kelly and Mark, for over 3 years. However, Kelly has been hosting the franchise for 25 years as she joined back in 2001.

The Emmy-winning hosting duo first met in 1995 while co-starring on the soap opera All My Children and tied the knot in 1996.

They are also parents of three kids, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.
