Rachel Riley is currently enjoying her honeymoon with new husband Pasha Kovalev – but her pregnancy is causing her some particular struggles when it comes to relaxing on the beach. The Countdown star has revealed that she is finding it difficult to get comfortable on the sand thanks to her blossoming baby bump, but luckily for Rachel, her husband is providing the sweetest remedy to accommodate her new belly.
Sharing some new photos on Instagram, Rachel revealed that Pasha is down on his hands and knees, digging her a "belly hole" in the sand daily. Captioning the images, one of which is of a beach towel covering a baby bump-sized hole, Rachel said: "The new joys of pregnant married life - Pasha digging me a belly hole on the beach for my bump each day!"
