Rachel Riley announces second pregnancy with former Strictly partner Pasha Kovalev

Rachel Riley has announced she's pregnant with her second child with ex-Strictly Come Dancing partner, and now husband, Pasha Kovalev.

The television star, 35, confirmed the news by tweeting a picture of herself cradling her baby bump in the Countdown studio, reports the Mirror Online.

She said: "A special teatime teaser!

"And your clue is... Riley had this to thank for the reason her clothes no longer fit her...

"And it’ll only get worse till Autumn!

"Happy, happy days for our little family @pashakovalev and future big sister Mave."

The couple began dating after meeting on Strictly in 2013.

They married in Las Vegas in 2019 and later that year had their first child, Maven, in December.

Riley has been the resident maths genius on Countdown since 2009, taking over from Carol Vorderman.
