NextImg:Kelly Ripa Calls Out Audience Member Whose Phone Went Off During ‘Live’: “I Know Whose It Is”

More On:

Kelly Ripa

Oops! Someone did it again. After one audience member’s phone went off during Live with Kelly and Mark, co-host Kelly Ripa recounted the time something similar happened to her — which was arguably in an even more awkward setting than live television.

At the start of this morning’s episode, Mark Consuelos was telling his wife that he wants to have an ice bath installed in their home after he heard of “cold-plunging.”

“Here’s how it goes in our house. ‘Kelly, I want this.’ Boom. It’s done. We have it,” Ripa said. “‘Mark, I’ve really been dreaming about this.’ X, y, z. Name it. ‘A different closet from you. I’ve been dreaming about having my own closet —'”

The longtime co-host was then cut off by a live audience member’s ringtone, prompting her to call out the viewer for trying to play it off as though it wasn’t her.

“Don’t look to her, you know it’s yours,” Ripa joked. “I know whose it is. I’ve done this in church.”

She revealed that her ringtone was once “Gimme More” by Britney Spears — more specifically, the part when the pop star sings, “It’s Britney, bitch.”

“That went off in church and I sat there like this,” Ripa said as she pretended to look around confused. “Remember when I was like, ‘Who in the world? Who would do that in the middle of church? What monsters.’ And it just kept ringing — it was [executive producer Michael] Gelman, P.S. — ringing, ringing, ringing.”

After sharing a laugh over the incident, the married couple returned to the topic at hand when Consuelos told Ripa that they would have to “get another house” for her to have her own closet. However, she suggested that they use the room that he occupies to “smoke cigars in.”

“All your clothes would smell like cigars,” Consuelos joked, to which Ripa replied, “No, but you wouldn’t smoke cigars in there anymore. You could smoke your cigars in your ice bath. “

Live with Kelly and Mark airs on weekdays at 9/8c on ABC.
