Kelly Ripa falls ill during live broadcast...
The always chipper Kelly Ripa wasn't Tuesday.
About halfway through the morning's telecast of "Live With Regis and Kelly," Ripa left the location set in the Bahamas where the show is based this week.
She has the flu.
Although she appeared to be uncharacteristically low-energy during the opening segment, she soldiered on and also did an interview with Tim Gunn of "Project Runway." Then it was bye-bye Reege. Philpin told viewers that "Kelly [is]a little bit under the weather right now. We hope she'll be back before the show is over."
She did not return.
Later, Philbin told Extra, "I thought she was pretty brave to come out and try to finish the whole show, but under the sun and everything, I guess she got a little warm."
