Countdown's Rachel Riley revealed that she and husband Pasha Kovalev are expecting their second baby on Wednesday, and now she's shared a beautiful snap of her growing bump.

Wearing a beautiful blue co-ord from Never Fully Dressed - which gives the look of a stunning maxi dress - the star revealed that she was glad she now longer had to try and hide her pregnancy shape.

Rachel shared the beautiful bump picture

The presenter took to social media on Wednesday morning, to announce her pregnancy - 35-year-old Rachel, who is already a mother to 15-month-old baby daughter Maven, posted a picture of herself standing next to the iconic Countdown board which read out the word, "fittriley", an anagram of "fertility".

Rachel announced her pregnancy the Countdown way!

"A special teatime teaser," she wrote. "And your clue is... Riley had this to thank for the reason her clothes no longer fit her... And it'll only get worse till Autumn! Happy, happy days for our little family @pashakovalev and future big sister Mave."
