Rachel Riley shared a number of cheeky behind-the-scenes pictures with her 322,000 Instagram followers today, causing a stir amongst fans. However, the Countdown favourite appeared to be distracted by her co-star’s assets, as they spilled out of a red bra. The 32-year-old couldn’t resist remarking on comedian Joe Wilkinson’s eye-popping new look, as she quipped about his “sex appeal”. As well as a selfie, the presenter gave viewers a glimpse of the instalment online in the early hours.
Rachel quipped: “He has a face you know! I’d forgotten just how bonkers the Christmas #CatsCountdown episode was! Here’s a recap.
“#hugerack #sexappeal #joewilkinson #comedy #8outof10catsdoescountdown #8outof10cats #catsdown #countdown #mental.”
She wowed in an aqua-marine dress which featured a low-cut V-neckline and cut-out embellishment.
Wearing her blonde tresses down in a loose wave, the small screen star polished off her look with metallic heels as well as lashings of eye make-up.

Joe, 43, was stood next to her in a plunging scarlet bra, with lace detailing, as well as an open shirt and blazer.
He looked far from happy in the photo, as he joked around for the festive instalment and took part in an odd game.
Hours earlier, many undoubtedly thought they were seeing double as Rachel stood next to her “twin”.
The star and her doppelgänger wore identical dresses and similar hairstyles, but her lookalike sported ballet shoes instead of a gold pair.
“Two of me!!!” she quipped. “Guaranteed to scare the c**p out of some people, even if we didn’t look exactly like the twins from The Shining.
“Tonight at 9pm @channel4 is the brand new #CatsCountdown Christmas Special: with Jimmy, Jon, Sean, Kathy Burke, David Mitchell, James Acaster, Joe Wilkinson, me & Susie.”
Rachel also included the hashtag: “Watch. Enjoy. Let’s play Christmas Countdown!!!! #comedy #catsdown #countdown #8outof10cats #8outof10catsdoescountdown #tv #twins.”
She had a tricky week last week due to the issues experienced at Gatwick Airport, something she addressed on Twitter.
Rachel wrote: “53 hours later, we made it out of Gatwick!!! Thanks to Lindsey and the rest of the aircrew coming down from Manchester to get us in the air, big cheers as we left the runway!
“Happy holidays from India, and enjoy Christmas #CatsCountdown tonight #christmastree #india #christmasholidays.”
Rachel Riley previously spoke out saying “f*** you” as she lashed out in explosive rant on Twitter.
Countdown airs weekdays at 2.10pm on Channel 4.
