Returning to Live with Kelly and Mark after her gum surgery, TV personality Kelly Ripa opened up about a few of her bad habits. During the August 17 episode of the show, Ripa got candid about her penchant for luxurious body care products, including body oil.
However, the host also mentioned that despite her fondness for the particular body oil, it might one day “be the end of me.” Further, on her podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, Ripa also got candid about her dental habits that eventually led to the painful gum surgery.
Kelly Ripa Admits a Particular Body Oil ‘Will Be the End of Me’
After previously remaining absent from Live with Kelly and Mark, following her gum surgery, the talk show host Kelly Ripa finally returned to her spot beside her husband Mark Consuelos.
Speaking with Consuelos during the latest episode of the show, Ripa gushed about enjoying some of the most luxurious body care products.
But despite enjoying the luxury, Ripa revealed that she might have to remove one product in particular from her bath routine to avoid an accident. It’s the “nice body oil.”
“We have a nice body oil that I like to put on when I’m still, like, damp in the shower. But we have to stop that because…” she said before Consuelos added, “It’s slippery.”
Ripa continued, smiling, “Because I know what my obituary will say. I will slip in the shower, and that will be the end of me.” Her husband added, “I know.”

“A couple of times I’ve forgotten things, like, I’ve forgotten. And you step back in, and that’s that; it’s slippery. It’s a big slip. So we have to get rid of our luxurious and delightful body oil,” Ripa admitted.
Ripa Reveals Everyday Dental Hygiene That Caused Gum Recession
However, this wasn’t the only bad habit that Kelly Ripa shared. During an episode of Let’s Talk Off Camera recorded before her surgery, the host said her diligent dental hygiene had caused severe gum recession, leading to her painful surgery.
Discussing her “good-bad habit” of brushing her teeth too much, Ripa said, “I’m an over-brusher. I brush my teeth too much. It’s a good-bad habit. But I’ve caused gum recession down here specifically, and so they have gotta re-gum my gums.”
She continued, “I was supposed to do it five years ago. But now, just so you know, the doctor was like, ‘Now, you don’t have the luxury of time.’” Ripa eventually got her gum surgery done, which led her to miss a handful of episodes on her live show.
At that time, musician Kevin Jonas guest-hosted Live With Kelly and Mark alongside Ripa’s husband Mark Consuelos while she was on a brief medical leave, recovering from the long-overdue gum graft surgery.
