Countdown’s Rachel Riley fights back giggles after board spells out VERY rude word – The Sun

RACHEL Riley held back the giggles on Tuesday's Countdown after the board spelled out the word "fetish".

In typical British style, the panel kept a firm stiff upper lip as the chosen nine letters allowed one contestant to spell out the six-letter word.

Ever the professional though, Rachel also managed to keep a straight face and got on with the show which airs on Channel 4.

The Strictly Come Dancing star was still pregnant with her first child, daughter Maven Aria in the pre-recorded show, and was seen on screens in a red floral maternity dress as she looked on in bemusement.

The mother-of-one is certainly no stranger to an awkward moment on Countdown, having struggled to maintain her composure last month when the final letters of one game almost spelled out "c***".
Last year, the star – who has been co-presenting Countdown for over a decade – treated fans to a selection of the naughtiest words to have ever appeared on the show to mark her ten-year anniversary.


The cringe-worthy letters which are picked at random include, "erection", "shags", "todgers", "vaginas", "orgasms" and – most bizarrely of all – "OK I squirt".

Other rude words picked by contestants include "bumhole" (which believe it or not has appeared TWICE), "perverts", "p***", "sugar t***" and "no panties".

Rachel first joined Countdown in 2009 when she was 22 – having only just graduated from the University of Oxford.

She married her Strictly professional partner Pasha Kovolev and in December gave birth to daughter Maven Aria, announcing: "2 weeks after we were expecting her this little one finally made an appearance.

“Miss Maven (one who understands) Aria (lioness) Riley Kovaleva arrived on Sunday morning weighing in at 7lbs 4."

She added: “She’s absolutely perfect & Pasha & I are in newborn bliss. Couldn’t be more in love.”
