KELLY Ripa has suffered a wardrobe malfunction while playing a July 4th game during her talk show on Monday.
The awkward moment has occurred as the TV personality, 51, tried to compete against co-host Ryan Seacrest in an awkward on-air game.
The pair played a bunch of Fourth of July-themed games to celebrate the holiday on Monday, with some requiring more movement than others.
While Ryan was dressed comfortably in a short-sleeve button-up, jeans, and slip-on sneakers, Kelly wasn’t as game-day ready.
She had on a maxi dress and high heels, which gave her some trouble during an activity that required some running.
Not wanting to lose against Ryan, Kelly made sure to give herself the best chance to win, even if that meant having some wardrobe troubles.

While she didn’t take off her heels, she did hike up her long dress, pausing the start of the game to maneuver it into her undergarments.
“You know what I gotta do,” she rhetorically asked Ryan.
While starting to do so, she revealed: “I gotta tuck my [dress] up into my underpants. Because I’m gonna trip over it.”
One of the other members on the Live with Kelly and Ryan set could be heard saying, “Whoa,” in response to Kelly’s actions.

She then wore her dress completely bunched up in the middle, in both the back and the front, as she competed in the game.
Kelly could be seen trying to scrunch it up some more as the game went on and as her dress loosened.
Along with her wardrobe issues during the game, Kelly also had some issues while explaining the rules to one of the activities.
Earlier on in the show, the All My Children alum couldn’t stop laughing after realizing a NSFW innuendo.
Ryan explained to viewers: “Throughout the show, we’re also playing Live’s Fourth of July games.
“It’s ping-pong-palooza, because each game is being played with ping pong balls.”
Unfortunately for Kelly, it was hard for her to remain unaffected by the theme for the games.
Kelly did her best to keep things PG, starting off: “OK, here’s how it works. The person holding the stack of cups is trying to catch–“
That’s when she couldn’t hold herself back and put major emphasis on the last words of the sentence, saying everyone’s “trying to catch the BALLS.”
Loving the youthful humor of it all, Kelly started cracking up, before ending her explanation of the game, saying contestants have to catch what “their teammate is throwing.”
With the whole broadcast focused on these ping pong ball games, Ryan threw some shade at Kelly and her juvenile reaction, telling her: “Good luck making it through this show!”
She just tried to continue again, sharing more of the game: “Once the ping pong ball is caught in the cup, that cup gets moved to the bottom of the stack.”

The calmness didn’t last long, though, as she once again started laughing and pointing out the innuendo with her enunciations.
“Whichever team stacks all 10 first, or has the most BALLS in their cups, in 60 seconds wins,” she finished out her explanation, before later on continuing to make the same joke.
