Yet when Consuelos went to dip Ripa onto his knee, the 52-year-old popped a seam in the back of her hot pink dress.

“Gosh I don’t know with them together,”one viewer tweeted Tuesday. “I am not a fan. Loved Ryan and all his stories, he brought another layer to the show.”
The new co-hosts have faced some backlash online ever since starting their new gig on Monday. ABC“Kelly and Mark look uncomfortable together, it’s hard to watch. Mark as a fill in cohost was fun to watch. This isn’t fun to watch anymore. Need Ryan back,” another added.
While a third person called their dynamic “painful,” adding that they “changed the channel” right away.
However, other fans defended the couple, saying they seemed “nervous” and just need a little time getting used to their new normal.
