LIVE With Kelly and Ryan host Kelly Ripa has made a creepy confession about her childhood in New Jersey on the show.
Co-host Ryan Seacrest was left stunned after she admitted to stacking crab carcasses.
During Tuesday’s episode, Kelly talked about her time growing up at the shore.
After Ryan thought a horseshoe crab in the bay was a sting ray, Kelly corrected him.
“Didn’t you have a childhood?” she asked.
“No. Not much of one,” Ryan responded.
“When you grew up at the Jersey Shore half of the fun was picking up the carcasses of the dead horseshoe crabs and stacking them on top of each other,” Kelly said with a smile on her face.
“Turning them into a fort was a lot of fun.”
Ryan was left stunned and laughed at his co-host.
To her confession, the American Idol host responded: “Well, they’re growing to the size of sting rays now, Kelly.”

Kelly laughed at him as he continued to talk.
BRUTAL DISS
During the same episode, Ryan talked about going to the beach on Long Island.
He said that one side is the beach while the other is the bay and he saw a picture of something he’s “never seen before.”
Ryan held up a picture and said: “I saw deer, walking on water, in the bay this summer.”
Kelly joked: “Those are called Christ deers.”
The Live With Kelly and Ryan host talked about taking his dog, Georgia, out in the water since it wasn’t too deep.
“The second I get from the road to the first foot of the bay this is there,” Ryan said, holding up a picture.
“Oh, it’s a horseshoe crab!” Kelly exclaimed.
“No, it’s a sting ray!” Ryan argued.
“No, that’s a horseshoe crab, not a stingray!” Kelly told him.
He said they ran out of the bay and down the street in order to not get stung.
The 47-year-old then asked his co-host how could he tell the difference.
She explained that a horseshoe crab doesn’t have a stinger and then rolled her eyes at him.
He then spoke to the camera and told his dog that they have plans for the weekend now.
LIVE RETURNS!
On Monday, it was revealed that Live with Kelly and Ryan will be back sooner than fans might’ve expected.
The show’s official social media pages shared a photo of the co-hosts smiling, along with the words “one week” in huge font.
Getting more specific about when the morning program will be back, the caption read: “Are you ready?! A new season of Live with Kelly and Ryan is ONE WEEK away!
“Tune in Monday, September 5th. Go to http://KellyandRyan.com to find your time and channel.”
Fans immediately shared their excitement about the talk show’s return.
One wrote, “Can’t wait!!,” while another tweeted: “I am so ready!!!!”
A third said, “Yes I am,” and a fourth posted a slew of heart and smiling emojis to show how “ready” they are for the new season.
However, some fans were not so happy as they were angry at the co-hosts for “faking” the new episodes.
For most of August, the hosts filmed new openings of them bantering back and forth with the word “Live” in the corner, but the rest of the show was pre-recorded.
