Elaborating further on her statement, the ‘Hope and Faith’ star revealed that her husband “shows up as an honored guest at Thanksgiving,” as she mentioned that Consuelos thinks “the food just materializes.”

She also noted that the ‘Husband for Hire’ actor did not help her in preparing food but “complained to me because there was too much butter in the mashed potatoes.”

To which, Consuelos replied, “Well, do we want to talk about that, or should we just let you say that?” Ripa asserted, “No, I just put a chunk of butter on top expecting it to melt down.”

When the ‘All My Children’ actor asked whether the butter melted, the actress added, “No, you without looking just took your scoop, scooped up the pat of butter and put it on your plate, and then complained to me.”

After Thanksgiving, Mark Consuelos was given one task by Kelly Ripa but he failed to make her happy.

“So after doing nothing all weekend, I thought that Mark should man the pizza oven 'cause he actually read the instruction manual and he knows how to use the thing. But you became so moody,” she disclosed.

Consuelos then asked, “Did I?” Ripa said, “I said, ‘You have to par-bake them.’ And then after three he goes, ‘We’re not par-baking them anymore, it’s pointless, we don’t need to do that!’ So then Mark did it his way and made what I like to call ‘Soup Pizza.’”

During the group call, Ripa’s children and husband made fun of her as she shared, “I have my retainer in, and I’ve got my moisturizer on. So yes, I look like an alien being from another planet. But I’m in bed, and you FaceTimed me!” as per Decider.
