There’s more to her than her cheery smile! Kelly Ripa may have ensured us that the “long national nightmare” is over amid her fight with co-host Michael Strahan, but on-set sources say that the terror still exists behind-the-scenes of LIVE! With Kelly & Michael!

Let’s hope she’s worth it because, according to the report, Ripa snags an upwards of “$20 million a year” as a co-host.

Ripa’s kids —Michael, 18; Lola, 14 and Joaquin, 13 — also get the luxury treatment! The former actress has also “expected ABC’s car service to drop her kids off at school every morning.”

RadarOnline reported that Kelly is known for turning her back, just like she did to former co-host Regis Philbin after he left the show in 2011."Regis realized Kelly was focused on her own life and career but it seemed to some like she turned her back on him," a source said.
