LIVE star Kelly Ripa was joined by her husband Mark Consuelos on Thursday’s show, treating fans to a shocking NSFW moment.
During the show, the fitness enthusiast couple worked out with a trainer, showing off their physiques as they ran through various exercises.
Mark, 52, stepped in to replace Ryan Seacrest as host alongside his wife on Live!
The pair worked out with trainer Joey Thurman, running through different minimum-effort exercises.
At one point, the couple was shown a move that required them to lay on their backs, lifting their butts off the floor while holding their hands on their hips.
The exercise was meant to target the butt.
Joey encouraged them: “Squeeze the glutes. You can smack your but if you want to, Mark.”
The actor proceeded to do just that before reaching over and slapping his wife’s butt.
She carried on as though nothing happened for a few moments before shouting: “This feels pornographic to me.”
Joey then joked: “It’s ratings season. Come on.”

MORNING SHOW COUPLE
Kelly and Mark have recorded several episodes of Live! With Kelly and Mark, featuring the husband and wife duo hosting the morning show together.
Viewers have had their share of critiques about the hosting duo and the show overall, with many slamming Live! for airing too many pre-recorded shows.
Fans better get used to it, however.
Amid threats from viewers to boycott the talk show, The U.S. Sun exclusively reported that Kelly and Mark pre-recorded several episodes of the show together.
The episodes were filmed two months before producers plan to record them.
On April 26, Live with Kelly and Mark pre-taped the June 19 episode.
Then, on April 27, production filmed the episode that is scheduled to air on June 26.
“The opening monologue for the pre-recorded episodes is very general, like, discussing relationships and Mark and Kelly’s marriage and life with the kids,” an insider told The U.S. Sun.
“They did not touch on big news stories, such as Jerry Springer’s death, which broke in the middle of taping on April 27.”
The source noted that the guests who were brought on for the June dates were cast members from The Walking Dead: Dead City, which premieres on June 18.
The show has at least five additional filming dates scheduled to pre-tape episodes in advance.
STEAMY SEGMENTS
Kelly and Mark are known for keeping things interesting.
They regularly flaunt their PDA on social media and on TV.
During an April episode of Live! With Kelly and Mark, the couple got frisky in one of their segments and fans actually seemed to enjoy it.
The pair participated in a yoga segment wearing black athletic ensembles and interacting with one another as they did various poses together.
One of the poses that were the most provocative was the one where Kelly straddled her husband’s back.
The sensual position involved Mark lying on his tummy, balancing his weight on his forearms as Kelly sat on his back while she squatted.
She rested her forearms and hands on her spouse’s shoulders and head.
The intimate moment gained attention among fans.
Mark received many comments from fans about how they were enjoying the show after he placed a snap of the raunchy pose he did with Kelly on his Instagram account.
