Countdown’s Rachel Riley leaves co-star shocked with very cheeky confession

Countdown star and numbers whizz Rachel Riley has left her pal blushing with her cheeky confession over what she listens to in the gym. The Channel 4 star revealed her favourite workout motivation songs, which featured some NSFW titles and lyrics.

Host Colin Murray was discussing the Rocky tune Eye of the Tiger when he quizzed his co-star on what she listens to get herself motivated in the gym.

Mum of two Rachel revealed: "If you're in the gym you probably maybe want to get fit, lose a bit of weight. So, I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked. That's a good one."

The star didn't stop there with the cheeky song choices, as she also added: "Maybe I Think We're Alone Now." A stunned Colin asked: "For motivation?" Rachel quipped back as she sang the lyrics: "Running just fast as you can - I'm quite literal, it's quite Homes Under the Hammer."

Outside of her time on air for Countdown, Rachel has revealed she and her husband Pasha Kovalev are finding it hard to find free time for each other. The couple, who got together after being partnered on Strictly in 2013 and married in 2019, share a two-year-old daughter named Maven and a one-year-old daughter Noa.

With Rachel working on Countdown and Pasha always rehearsing for live shows and other projects, they never have time for each other. Rachel is currently "juggling a lot" with their children at home for the summer.

In an interview with The Sun, Rachel shared: "It's nice to have date nights especially as we can be ships that pass in the night, especially when you have kids as well. He was choreographing a film in Romania recently for five weeks and he got back and straight into rehearsals."

She added: "It's been busy, it's been different, but everything is always in flux. It would be nice, once I'm not feeding the baby and picking her up, maybe we could even have a night together but that feels like a million miles away at the moment."

Speaking to the Mirror in May, Rachel revealed she and Pasha also "put a pin" in their romance at the moment. She explained: "All the romance and dates… we just kind of put a pin in it. “We’re both quite patient and we know that once Noa is off the boob, we’ll get there again."

Although the passion might return, Rachel has ruled out any new children to their family as she added: "We’re done in terms of kids. You can fit four in a hotel room or a car. So now when the girls grow out of clothes, they go to the charity shop. I’m not keeping them just in case."
