Chrissy Teigen and Susan Lucci joined Andy Cohen to recreate the explosive Season 10 finale of “Vanderpump Rules,” which was filmed after Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ affair was exposed to the world.

The cookbook author and the soap star read lines from the Bravo episode as part of SiriusXM’s “Radio Andy Theater” series at the Green Room 42 in New York City on Monday.

Teigen played Lisa Vanderpump, while Lucci showed off her acting skills as Scheana Shay.

We’re told Lucci received an especially loud round of applause after she impersonated an emotional Shay admitting to shoving Leviss “so f–king hard” after learning about the affair — aka Scandoval — in March 2023.

Teigen also got the crowd going while doing her best to play Vanderpump with her famous British accent, but she wasn’t afraid to poke fun at herself for not always nailing it.

At one point, Teigen, 38, stopped mid-way through one of her lines and jokingly apologized to the crowd for sounding more like Vanderpump’s former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-star Dorit Kemsley.

Eyewitnesses tell us that Teigen made the audience laugh even louder when she’d interrupt herself by shouting “Jagger” and “Bubba!,” referring to Kemsley’s son and the nickname for her husband, respectively.

Ahead of the show, the television personality showed off her fit physique wearing a black satin bra, black silk blazer with a yellow pattern, baggy jeans and silver pointed-toe heels.

Teigen smiled with her thick script in hand before making her way to the midtown location.

Guests applied for entry online, but they were not told Teigen and Lucci would be included in the cast.

Several other comedians and television personalities participated alongside Teigen, Lucci and Cohen for the live reading showing the aftermath of Ariana Madix learning about then-boyfriend Sandoval’s affair with her former friend, Leviss.

Television personality and Bravo fan Brad Goreski read Tom Schwartz’s lines, while Leslie Grossman played his ex-wife, Katie Maloney.
