Rachel Riley reveals her ‘underwear secret’ during Countdown

Rachel Riley, 35, has taken to Twitter to aim a cheeky jibe at her Countdown co-star Susie Dent, 56. The presenter spoke out ahead of last night’s new episode of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, as she explained why she and her co-stars stay away from the lexicographer during filming.

Rachel mischievously teased Susie by saying the move had “nothing to do with social distancing” rules during the coronavirus pandemic.

The mum-of-one made the light-hearted remarks while sharing several snaps of herself and the Channel 4 show’s team in view of her 669,000 followers.

She filmed the hilarious series premiere with Susie alongside host Jimmy Carr, Jon Richardson, Sean Lock, Sara Pascoe, Richard Ayoade and Nick Helm.

Commenting on the spacing between her and her co-stars on set, Rachel penned: “First new #CatsCountdown of this brave new world.

“Spacing has nothing to do with social distancing, @susie_dent has just got extra handsy lately and we all have to watch out, you know what she’s like.”

Pointing out that she was only joking, Rachel added a winking face emoji to her tweet.

Fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on Rachel’s funny post.

One person wrote: “Excellent. Susie Dent After Dark is reason enough.”

 

Another added: “I wondered how countdown and #CatsCountdown do the conundrum now with the distancing requirements. I guess I’ll find out later tonight!!”

A third fan joked: “Poor Nick is so far away from @susie_dent. I’m sure he would welcome the new, handsy Susie!!”

A fourth commented: “Susie is lovely don’t pick on her, lol.”(sic)

“Great stuff! There’s only one Susie Dent,” a fifth Twitter user replied.

Elsewhere, Rachel was forced to clarify that she is not pregnant with her second child on Instagram.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star already has one-year-old daughter Maven, who she shares with husband Pasha Kovalev.

The star sparked speculation last month when she posted some pictures online ahead of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown airing.

In the behind-the-scenes snaps, Rachel could be seen cuddling her co-star Susie.

Her second picture showed the maths expert in a beautiful navy blue and silver dress, cradling a blossoming baby bump.

The sweet snap instantly fuelled rumours that Rachel was expecting her second child.

“Are you pregnant again? Lovely,” one follower wrote in the comments section of the post.

“Are you expecting #2? Congratulations,” another added sharing a similar thought.

“No this was recorded a while ago! We’ll keep you posted,” Rachel quickly clarified.

Rachel gave birth to her first child in December 2019.
