After returning from her Spanish honeymoon with her new husband Pasha Kovalev, expectant mum Rachel Riley looked glowing as she made her way to the Countdown studios in Manchester on Tuesday. Braving the rain, the celebrity mathematician showed off her burgeoning baby bump in a chic white mini-dress. She happily flashed a smile to passing photographers whilst shielding herself from the weather with a large blue umbrella. The 33-year-old teamed her stylish look with beige sandals and a navy cardigan.
