Kelly Ripa took “very indecent photos” in front of fellow ABC employee David Muir’s portrait at their shared New York City studio.

Ripa made the admission on Tuesday’s episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark” after she and her husband, Mark Consuelos, welcomed Muir as their guest.

She then looked over at Consuelos, also 54, who was staring at Muir in awe.

“I know, I know, it never gets old! I’m telling you — the benefits of having this job …” she trailed off.

An equally enthralled Consuelos added, “It’s like looking into the sun, David.”

That’s when Ripa proclaimed that she and Consuelos “have unfettered access to David in this building,” confessing that they sometimes just “go up and stare at him, and he doesn’t even know [they’re] there.”

Muir, 51, noted, “There are terrifying gigantic images of all of us in this building. There’s certain corners, and …”

Consuelos interrupted to ask whether Muir was on a helicopter in one of the images, which the anchor confirmed as he quipped, “That’s how I get to work every day.”

That’s when Ripa interjected, “I’ve gotta tell you — I have some very indecent photos of me standing in front of your picture that I can’t show on the air because they told me it was not suitable for broadcast.”

What do you think? Post a comment.

Consuelos jumped in to say that “HR was right next to her” when these alleged photos were taken.

“I thought you were talking about the other photos,” Muir replied cheekily. “For years, she’s like, ‘You just say when, [and I’ll] send!’”

“Exactly,” Ripa responded before Consuelos changed the subject.

Though the trio was likely joking, Page Six has reached out seeking clarification.
