Rachel Riley: Countdown star enjoys rare night out as Pasha Kovalev starts Strictly tour

Rachel Riley attended the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s Totem at the Royal Albert Hall last night.

The Countdown star, who is dating Strictly Come Dancing  professional dancer Pasha Kovalev, walked the red carpet as her boyfriend rehearses for the Strictly Come Dancing: Live! tour in Birmingham.

The 33-year-old TV star displayed her slim figure in a high-neck black top and skintight black leggings at the star-studded event.

She teamed her figure-hugging ensemble with a stylish pair of over-the-knee velvet boots to give her outfit some added wow factor.

Rachel, who met her partner when she appeared on the BBC ballroom dancing show in 2013, introduced some colour to her monochrome look with a soft pink coat.

Wearing her long blonde hair loose, the popular television star enhanced her natural beauty with a sweep of eyeliner and a slick of pink lipstick.

Her boyfriend Pasha, 38, is currently preparing for the Strictly tour which kicks off tomorrow.

Ahead of the first show, the Russian dancer was pictured at dinner with the 2018 cast including champion Stacey Dooley as well as runners-up Joe Sugg and Faye Tozer.

Also at the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s Totem last night was the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan, 37, who is pregnant with the couple’s first child, dazzled in a shimmery floor-length designer gown as she watched the performance with her husband Prince Harry, 34.

The star-studded guest list also included singer Katherine Jenkins, Cold Feet star Hermione Norris and Sir David Jason.

Kelly Brook put on a leggy display in tiny mini dress on the red carpet when she arrived for the acrobatic show.
