Rachel Riley was left in hysterics after her boyfriend spelled out "bumhole" on ‘Countdown’.
The 32-year-old host was left lost for words by her boyfriend, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional dancer Pasha Kovalev, 38, after he suggested the word from the letters HMWOIUEBL while sat in the show’s Dictionary Corner, and the TV presenter joked she wasn’t surprised by her boyfriend’s cheeky humour .
She wrote on Twitter: "Can’t take @PashaKovalev anywhere! (sic)"
The mathematician also took to Instagram to post a picture of the board before the word had been spelled out.
She added the caption: "When your boyfriend spots an opening to play a cheeky seven I may have been laughing too much for the board shot to make the edit (sic)"
Rachel shared another photo of the moment after she had assembled the letters to spell out "bumhole".
She wrote: "Off the edit room floor! One day I’ll grow up enough not to laugh at this, but for now, it’s orofficially funny‬ #rudewords #immature #countdown#funny #bumhole #wordplay #winning#pasha (sic)"
The pair have been dating for three years after they fell in love when she competed on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, and despite their happy relationship, Rachel – who was previously married to Jamie Gilbert – doesn’t "feel the pressure" to marry Pasha.
She said: "I am in love now. I don’t feel I have to get married. I don’t think I need that pressure any more.
"I don’t worry about getting married or whether he is taking a long time in the morning or whether he has done the dishes. That does not really bother me in the long term. I feel settled."
