RACHEL RILEY - who has appeared on Countdown since 2009 - has found herself “arguing with idiots” on Twitter after breaking what she said is her number one rule online.

The Countdown favourite hit out at a Twitter user last night after receiving what she claimed was an offensive message, which has since been deleted.
The 32-year-old hit out as she shared the unknown post with her 547,00 Instagram followers, before explaining why she remained on the platform.
Rachel hit out: “I’ve never met a Jew or any decent person who supports Nazis. I consider myself both.
“Just see a difference between inciting hatred and someone’s attempt at a (very bad taste) joke.”
The good people outweigh the bad, thankfully
The former Strictly Come Dancing regular went on to respond to a number of replies from fans in relation to the “joke”.
Rachel had a positive spin, when one person asked: “@RachelRileyRR why do you stay on Twitter with all the c**p that you get?
“It must be so tiring and frustrating. I don’t know how you filter it and stay level headed…”
However, Rachel, who replaced Carol Vorderman on Countdown, stated: “The good people outweigh the bad, thankfully!”
Another user went on to urge: “@RachelRileyRR please stop arguing with idiots,’ to which she also responded.
Rachel added: “Yep, top advice, I broke my number one rule!” which ended a series of messages.
It comes just days after she was caught gushing about her boyfriend Pasha Kovalev, who she met on the BBC programme.
Rachel used her platform to promote the Strictly Come Dancing professional’s upcoming UK tour, sharing a cute message.

Rachel previously hit out at a viewer after comment about her knees on Twitter.
