• Kelly Ripa gave a health update after returning to Live with Kelly and Mark on Monday.

• The talk show host said she felt “1,000 percent better” after her illness.

• She and her husband Mark Consuelos also joked about how their family reacts when Kelly is sick.

Kelly Ripa finally returned to Live with Kelly and Mark on Monday 4 December, after being on sick leave last week.

The presenter, who was greeted with thunderous applause as she took the stage, revealed to her husband and co-host Mark Conseulos that she was feeling “1,000 percent better” after a trying few days. “I don’t appreciate how healthy I am until I’m not,” she said. “And then I’m such a baby and such an angry patient.”

Shortly thereafter, Kelly and Mark, who agreed that his wife was “really sick,” got into a small argument about how umKelly, especially, can be when she’s not feeling well. “You come down (the stairs) and everyone starts backing away and you get mad,” Mark said. “You get offended – we don’t want to get sick.”

Kelly was quick to clarify that she is not offended, but is surprised at how her family is starting to “bully” her for leaving her bedroom. “I’m so careful not to spread viruses in my house that I came downstairs wearing surgical gloves and a mask, so spare me all your ‘she’s going to make me sick’ because guess what? One of you made me sick,” she said.

But things soon cleared up when Mark revealed how much he missed his wife. “I finally slept in bed last night and it was so nice,” he said. “I don’t sleep in bed without you. I don’t.”

Ooh!

Well, fans are certainly happy that Kelly is feeling better and that Mark is sleeping well!
