Countdown's Rachel Riley manages to keep straight face as rude word appears

Rachel Riley managed to keep a straight face after a rude word appeared on the Countdown board in yesterday’s episode.

A clip from the Channel 4 show sees contestant Pam revealing her six-letter word as “fetish”.

Clearly stunned, host Nick Hewer checks she just said the word but the team in the dictionary corner praise the combination.

The camera then turns to Rachel who is standing next to the board with “fetish” lined up.

She stares at the board and, for a brief moment, it seems a smile is about to appear.

But the 34-year-old remains ever the professional and keeps a straight face as she turns back to the camera.

The Strictly Come Dancing star was still pregnant with her first child, Maven Aria, in the pre-recorded show.

Rachel gave birth to the baby girl in December last year, two weeks after her due date.

It is just one of a catalogue of rude words to have appeared on Countdown over the years.

Earlier this week, Rachel was seen fighting back laughter as after the word “screwing” was read out.

Last year, she posted a series of screenshots showing some of the naughtiest words she came across on the show in celebration of being on the co-host for over 10 years.

The words, which are picked at random from a combination of letters, included “vaginas”, “orgasms” and “shags”.

Rachel was also on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 and began dating her dance partner Pasha Kovalev.

The pair got married in Las Vegas last year and in December, she announced: “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.”
