Rachel Riley announces she's pregnant with second child in Countdown conundrum post

Rachel Riley has announced she is pregnant with her second child with husband Pasha Kovalev.

And of course it came with another Countdown conundrum.

The host of the Channel 4 show confirmed the happy news in a tweet on Wednesday morning (April 14).

The 35-year-old shared a picture of herself standing in front of the Countdown board in a gorgeous black floral dress as she placed her hands firmly over her baby bump.

The Countdown board read out the word, "fittriley", which when rearranged spells out "fertility".

Rachel wrote alongside the snap: "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."

Rachel and former Strictly Come Dancing star Pasha are already proud parents to 16-month-old daughter Mave.

The pair met when they were partnered up on Strictly back in 2013 and announced they were expecting their first child in May 2019.

Rachel and Pasha then later revealed their decision to elope and tied the knot in a secret Las Vegas ceremony in June 2019.

Mave then arrived months later in December the same year.
