Kelly Ripa broke her foot this week during a dance class and showed up on the set of Live! With Kelly and Michael on Thursday with crutches.
Co-host Michael Strahan helped Kelly get to her on-set chair just in time to hear her explain what happened.
"I was in a dance class which I typically, usually am, and somebody had left a weight on the floor….All I know is, I did a jump–and in my mind I am an incredible dancer as graceful as can be–and I landed on the weight and my foot went over and under the weight," Kelly Ripa explained.
If that's not enough to give readers a sick feeling in the pits of their stomachs, then they have a good bit of resolve.
Kelly Ripa insisted those at the dance facility not call an ambulance, as she was afraid she'd wind up on the nightly news.
On the upside of Ripa's injury, she won't have to undergo surgery to repair her broken foot.
Do you suppose Kelly Ripa will at least get a bit of pampering out of her injury? Maybe hubby Mark Consuelos and co-star Michael Strahan will take extra-good care of Kelly in light of the crutches and boot.
She actually shared a funny story about her husband and her injury.
Oh, yes. It sounds like Mark Consuelos owes Kelly Ripa for that one.
Michael Strahan is unlikely to get off the hook as well.
Now if only Kelly Ripa hadn't compared that break to the sound of popping bubble wrap, everyone else besides Michael Strahan and Mark Consuelos could forget about her broken foot.
