Rosie O’Donnell has been blasted by a cancer awareness group after declaring: “Exposure to the sun isn’t dangerous” to millions of daytime TV viewers.

The radio show host was sitting in as a co-host on The Rachael Ray Show last month when she revealed that she “lives to tan” and vouched for the safety of sunbathing.

Officials at the Ray Festa Melanoma Foundation have blasted the comedienne, branding her views on the sun and the potentially-deadly skin cancer it can cause “ill-informed” and “irresponsible.” They’ve called on O’Donnell to record a public service announcement to retract the statements.

“Going out into the sun without protection is as, or even more dangerous, than having unprotected sex,” famed cartoonist Marisa Marchetto, who is a longtime supporter of the group, tells The New York Post’s gossip column PageSix.
