There are so many reasons to love Kelly Ripa. Not only is she our Jersey girl, but she knows how to give it to you straight — no matter how hard you smolder or bat your pretty lashes.

Such was the case when she and her husband Mark Consuelos basically roasted The Bachelor’s new star Nick Viall.

“You need to be single,” said Mark, to which Kelly replied, “I feel like you need to find love outside of TV.”

36-year old Nick (who does NOT look 36) said, “But what if this all works out?” Then Mark quickly said, “That a big ‘if’ dude.”

“You like the thrill of the hung!” Kelly cried. “I feel like you need to find love outside of TV. We used to meet at the club, or at work… go to the bars!”

Well said, Kelly and Mark. Well said.
