Rachel Riley jokes about turning down 'sexy' outfit for filming at eight months pregnant

Countdown presenter Rachel Riley has joked about deciding against wearing a 'sexy' gold catsuit for filming at more than eight months pregnant.

Rachel, who is eight months pregnant with her first child, shared a snap of herself in a changing room in the sparkly outfit.

The mathematician told fans that she'd turned down the catsuit for her final episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown as her due date grows closer.

"We’ve got 2 more episodes of Cats does Countdown to record whilst I’m 8 months + pregnant. "Think you’ll understand why I rejected this sexy little number as an outfit option," she tweeted.

Manchester United fan Rachel is expecting her first child with her dancer husband Pasha Kovalev who she met in 2013 while competing on Strictly Come Dancing.

"Lol. Interesting look. Your still rocking it though," praised one fan.

"Ah you look great!" said another.

Rachel also shared a photo of her growing bump on Instagram, saying: "Almost 8 months cooked and hiding places getting harder to come by... "

She announced that she was expecting in May with a photo of herself cradling her bump.

"Pash and I have a conundrum for you...you have till December to work it out! We’re over the moon excited," she said.

And in June she announced that she and Pasha had tied the knot.

"Introducing the new Mr and Mrs Kovalev. We both said yes," she told her Instagram followers.
