Rachel Riley: Countdown star shares EPIC gaffe involving mum ‘She has not wet herself!’

Rachel Riley, who has appeared on Countdown for just under a decade, shared a snapshot of a message her mother had been sent and quipped about what it said. The Channel 4 favourite uploaded a screenshot of the news her mum had been told by a customer care advisor from high street store, L.K.Bennett. The 33-year-old told her 624,000 Twitter followers her parent “had not wet herself” in the post, which has been liked nearly 800 times. Her words became all the more clear on closer inspection of the letter, which had a typo in the final paragraph.

It read: “Dear Celia. Thank you for your continued patience with us regarding your missing beads.

“Please accept our apology however we do not have any spare beads for this item any longer.”

However, the informative offering continued: “We sincerely apologise for the incontinence this may cause.

“However if you have any further questions please get back in touch. Kind regards.”

It appeared highly likely that “incontinence” had been written instead of inconvenience, leaving Rachel laughing.

She captioned the tweet: “I’m pleased to report my Mum has not wet herself at this news. I wonder what kind of beads Emma thought she was missing.”

The professional dancer revealed he would not appear in another season of the BBC hit after being a series regular for eight years.

The ex panelist told Express.co.uk: “I think he is tired. You know, bodies get tired.

“The professional dancers on that show work relentless hours… from three to four months from August when they start to Christmas… that is tough.

The 75-year-old went on: “The thing is the standard of the professionals is phenomenal.”

Countdown airs weekdays at 2.10pm on Channel 4.
