Pregnant Rachel Riley catches the eye in a vibrant yellow top and ditsy print jumpsuit as she leaves Countdown


She’s gearing up to welcome her second child. 

Yet Rachel Riley showed no signs of slowing down as she bounded out of the Countdown studios in Manchester on Monday after another long day of filming. 

The mathematician, 35, looked radiant as she headed home to see husband Pasha Kovalev, 41, and their daughter Maven, 18 months.

Rachel turned heads on the outing as she teamed a ditsy print jumpsuit with a vibrant yellow top. 

Injecting even more colour, the blonde bombshell toted a printed rucksack, but kept her footwear simple, opting for plain white trainers.  

Rachel’s outing came after she opened up about her family plans in an exclusive interview with MailOnline.

Rachel said she and Pasha felt unsure children were in their future during the early stages of their relationship, but after reflecting on her age and the possibility starting a family may not be easy, they decided to go full steam ahead.

‘We’ve bashed them out! Get the sleep deprivation over in one go is the plan’, she explained.

‘I’m 35 and I’ve got friends that are struggling with fertility, and you just never know if you’re going to be able to get pregnant.

‘We have been really lucky, touch wood and we’re very excited. They’re great, we weren’t sure if we wanted them before and we’re just both in love, it’s lovely.’

She continued: ‘My first pregnancy was really mild and this one, you barely even notice it. Obviously, I’m chasing after a toddler the whole time, so it’s a different experience.

‘The first time you focus on the pregnancy and looking at yourself but the second time you know there’s a baby coming.

‘You’re thinking about what the future is going to look like with your family of four, rather than focusing on your stomach looking different. It’s an incredible thing the human body and I was lucky my giving birth experience was good.’
