Jenny McCarthy thought she had “hung up my bikini” when Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand came calling.
The “Masked Singer” judge teamed up with fellow former Playboy model Carmen Electra earlier this year for the company’s swimwear campaign.
The sexy photos wowed fans and left one person on the floor — her husband, Donnie Wahlberg.
“Donnie fainted the first time he saw my SKIMS campaign,” McCarthy told Fox News Digital. “He fainted when I showed that because I thought I’d hung up my bikini. I thought I was done with all that stuff.

“I was scared we were going to look like two grandmas trying to be 20. But, instead, it was kind of a nice tribute to the good old Maxim [and] FHM [magazine] days. And it was fun.”

McCarthy had fun with her friend but admitted she preferred a different risqué photoshoot she did with Wahlberg around Christmas last year for her beauty brand, Formless Beauty.
When asked which photo shoot she preferred, the SKIMS shoot or the nude photo she took with Wahlberg for her beauty brand, McCarthy said, “Oh, my gosh. I mean, obviously the shoot where Donnie is naked with me.

“I had no idea my husband was going to be behind the mask because he was filming ‘Blue Bloods’ at the same time,” McCarthy recalled. “So, when he took off the mask, you could see my face kind of going like [imitates shocked face]. Like, I was so shocked that I couldn’t see the reality that was in front of me. And then I fell to the floor because I was so shocked that it was him.”
And she swears up and down she had “no idea, because he was supposed to be in New York. So he tricked me.”

“You know, so many families come up to me and say, ‘I love that my kids put down their phone. I love that my kids stop playing video games to sit down and watch a TV show with me,’ which does not happen anymore, except for the ‘Masked Singer,’” McCarthy said.
“You’ve got mom, dad, the kids, the grandkids — all of them being able to watch one show together and smile. If we can continue that, I feel good about it.”
“The Masked Singer” airs Wednesday nights on FOX.
