Her co-host’s revelation as he flicked through the magazine prompted the mother-of-three to exclaim: “Are you kidding me?" She reached across to grab the copy saying “give me this”, joking “you would think he would tell us so we would pick up a couple of copies for the grandparents.”

Kelly then clocked the picture of him alongside his father, her husband Mark Consuelos, when he was younger. She added: “First of all, it's funny, I forget that they look alike until I see photos of them like that.”

Kelly Ripa's son Michael Conseulos has been named one of the "sexiest people alive"

The presenter continued: “Michael Conseulos, I always considered you just a handsome lovely fellow. Conscious, hard-working, diligent, respectful.” With a cringed expression, she added: “I had no idea you were considered 'sexy'. I always found his father to be sexy."

She also shares daughter Lola, 21, and son Joaquin, 19, with her 51-year-old actor other half. In the magazine, Michael - who is also an actor - joked that his father wants him and is brother “to look like him".

He noted: "I got new glasses and then my dad texts me, 'Where did you get those glasses?' And I'm like, 'Oh no, can you at least pick a different color?' My dad, my brother and I will be wearing the same black pants and gray shirt and I'm like, I try to look a little different than that. I like to stand out a little bit."
