Rachel Riley's face is a picture as she clocks very rude word on Countdown

Rachel Riley was given a fright when she realised the Countdown board was offering contestants a very rude word as an answer.

The presenter, 34, noticed that the choice of vowels and consonants for one contestant could easily spell out the swear word as they played the final letters game.

Ever the professional, Rachel stifled her laughter until she realised that the letters she had read out had actually spelled "c**t".

Contestant Tony asked: "Can I have a vowel please?" before Rachel listed off "U", followed closely by "C", "N", and "T".

Rachel was turned away from the screen when she realised, before turning back and pulling a twisted expression to the camera.

In the pre-recorded programme - before the birth of baby girl Maven Aria, a heavily pregnant Rachel is seen cradling her bump.

Rachel welcomed her first child with her boyfriendStrictly Come Dancing professional Pasha Kovalev, in December.

At the time, she wrote: "2 weeks after we were expecting her this little one finally made an appearance!

"Miss Maven (one who understands) Aria (lioness) Riley Kovaleva arrived on Sunday morning weighing in at 7lbs 4."

She penned alongside the snap: "Celebrating 40 years of this wonderful human today. We couldn't love him more."
