KELLY & MARK'S LIVE HOOKUP IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL!

TV train wreck triggers shock marriage crisis

CONTROLLING Kelly Ripa blames hubby Mark Consuelos for the savage reviews of their daytime flop Live — and now the bickering couple’s 27-year marriage is buckling under the strain, sources squeal.

Since the former soap stud joined his honey’s TV chatfest as the permanent replacement for Ryan Seacrest, viewers have bashed the pair, both 52, for endlessly boasting about their perfect home life and moan the couple’s boring onair banter sounds forced.

Sources tell The National ENQUIRER the brutal comments have humiliated haughty Kelly — and the tiny tyrant is pointing the finger at her man!

“Kelly’s never been beat up like this before and has identified Mark as the X factor,” an insider snitches.

“It’s very emasculating and he’s been walking on eggshells on the set.”
