Kelly Ripa Leaves ‘Live’ Set

Kelly Ripa's working vacation in the Bahamas was briefly put on hold today after she suddenly fell ill during a live taping.

The daytime TV darling had to be escorted from the “Live! With Regis and Kelly” set during a commercial break and could not finish the show.

Regis Philbin and Kelly took their show to the Atlantis Resort this week. In a show that airs Thursday, Kelly and her sons, Joaquin and Michael, had enjoyed a day of swimming with the dolphins before her scare.

“Extra” was with Kelly as she swam when she joked that her wetsuit was too small.

“It was tight, and I started thinking I couldn’t breathe very well,” she said. “I really felt ill there for a while.”

Then, live on-air, Kelly was floored by an apparent flu emergency and the show had to go on without her.

“She had a little stomach flu, I gather,” said Regis. “I thought she was pretty brave to come out and try to finish the whole show, but under the sun and everything, I guess she got a little warm. So we’re expecting her back.”

Kelly is expected to return to TV tomorrow.

you know what..you all just want someone to pick on. Kelly Rippa is fit and healthy. I don’t see any bones sticking out. You are all just jealous because you all can’t seem to get a handle on moderation. Kelly and lots like her have learned that.

I read a comment that Kelly said her daughter will never hear her say “do I look fat?” that is really scary and what about will her daughter hears “am I anorexic?” Maybe things are taken a bit too far. The pressure her daughter will be under is going to be a tough one.

Give me a break everyone. I bet not a single one of you are 5’3”, and works out at least 3-5 times a week. Give it a try. I can’t believe people start throwing out the anorexic card every time someone looks fit. She has an average frame for her height. Remember… it’s not normal to be 5’3” and 150 lbs. It seems that is what America is thinking is normal these days. Super size is OUT people.

Here’s the low-down on Ms. Ripa…..she (like all of the other famous people) have become so “Godly”, that when something “humanistic” happens to them, i.e. catching a bug, picking a nose etc., everyone watching (including themselves) is so shocked that they have to interview all witnesses to get every perspective on what MUST have happened to this Godly Human. Perhaps she is pregnant again? lol

Good well soon, Kelly. If anyone has followed your career through out the years, they know you are not anorexic.You are just a petite lady.

Kelly has been anorexic for a long time, since her days on All My Children when viewers were dismayed by her skeletal appearance, especially during shower scenes with her husband. When Live hired her she was pregnant and, therefore, appeared “normal.” But she has had “food issues” for quite a while. And yes, she does have a daughter, Lola, as well as two sons.

She looks tan and healthy and fit! She’s a tiny 5’ 3” lady and she works out! Her daughter had the flu a week ago and she probably caught it from her!

What has happened to her, I watched the show for the first time in years, was home sick, she’s like 90lbs, Too skinny she looks sickly. Why does that happen to most of the women on tv. They start off looking “normal” and then they become half the woman they were literally… SAD..and its so unattractive, her head weights more than her entire body. Does she have daughters?
