Jenny McCarthy's husband Donnie Wahlberg 'fainted' over her stripped-down photo shoot with Carmen Electra
‘Masked Singer’ judge also teases what to expect from the new season, premiering tonight

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.

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.
