RACHEL RILEY gave Countdown fans a glimpse at what goes on behind-the-scenes at the Channel 4 show via her Instagram page recently, while making it very clear she wasn’t the culprit.
Rachel Riley reveals her boyfriend has been on Countdown
Rachel Riley, who first joined Countdown back in 2009, shared a rather shocking Instagram selfie with her 251,000 followers on Friday.
The presenter was seen alongside her 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown co-star and comedian Joe Wilkinson, however their attire and complexion were in contrast.
The 32-year-old looked stunning in pink however her companion, 43, looked like he was ready for Halloween.
Sporting a blood-soaked top, the Him & Her star looked far from happy with pale make-up and what appeared to be claw marks across his face.
Wasn’t me… 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is back
Thankfully it was only make-up for the instalment with Rachel quipping about his new look in the caption.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant started: “Wasn’t me… #CatsCountdown is back, 9pm Channel 4. Enjoy!”
She also added the hashtags: “#countdown #8outof10cats #8outof10catsdoescountdown #comedy.”
The small screen favourite was soon inundated with comments, with the upload quickly garnering more than 12,000 likes.
“The best 2 on countdown, Rachel for brains n beauty, Joe for sense of humour n being joe lol,”(sic) one fan remarked.
Two others continued: “Can’t wait, it’s a great show,” and: “Just watched the show with Joe's poem. #crying.”
A fourth added: “So happy Joe is back as ‘assistant’. Funniest part of the show! Not that Rachel requires an assistant, more like when you have to look after a work experience kid…”
However others were most distracted by Rachel’s chic attire, which saw her wow in a pastel-coloured lace dress, with delicate embellishment throughout.
“WOW, you look as BEAUTIFUL as ever Rachel,” someone gushed, as a follower echoed: “Dress was stunning btw.”(sic)
“Your dress is beautiful Rachel as are you,” another cheeky fan added.
Meanwhile, it comes just days after she turned heads for all the right reasons and stole the spotlight on the original version of the programme
Rachel Riley wowed in plunging pink dress which clung to her sensational curves.
The blonde beauty’s ensemble also gave onlookers a glimpse of her décolletage and toned arms.
Putting on a glamorous display, she wore her blonde locks in bouncy curls and opted for contoured make-up.
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown continues Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
Countdown airs daily at 2.10pm on the same channel.
