Rachel Riley tries to keep a straight face as another cheeky word appears on the Countdown board
She is always the consummate professional when hosting Countdown.
And Rachel Riley did well to disguise her giggles on Tuesday night’s show when a very cheeky word appeared on the board.
The 34-year-old remained straight faced when ‘fetish’ was suggested in the pre-recorded episode, which was taped when Rachel was still pregnant.

In the clip, which was filmed before Rachel welcomed daughter Maven, she was seen looking sensational in a red floral dress that hugged her blossoming baby bump.
When the contestant suggested the word, host Nick Hewer repeated it back to her with a confused tone, before Susie Dent added: ‘Very good.’
Of course this is not the first time that a rude word has accidentally popped up on the Countdown board, and last year Rachel took to Instagram to share a selection of the cheekiest words to pop up on the board.

Rachel welcomed her first child with husband Pasha Kovalev in December, and revealed that their baby daughter was two weeks overdue.
The numbers guru made her pregnancy news public last May, putting the Countdown set to good use for the announcement.
Posing in front of a board of letters spelling ‘r tiny mate’, an anagram for ‘maternity’, she placed her hands on her blossoming baby bump.
