Countdown viewers seriously distracted by Rachel Riley’s figure-hugging mini dress
COUNTDOWN viewers have been left seriously distracted by Rachel Riley’s figure-hugging mini dress.
The 36-year-old has won a legion of fans on the show since she joined in 2009, and many like to see what she is wearing each day.
On Thursdays show, Rachel opted for a colourful mini dress which clung to her curves and revealed a little leg too.
However, one Countdown viewer couldn’t help but think that the pattern and colours reminded them of a popular video game.
Taking to Twitter, they shared a screenshot of Rachel alongside a snap of the game and wrote: “Pokémon fan, @RachelRileyRR #countdown.”
Meanwhile, Countdown fans have been complaining as they were faced with another week without host Colin Murray.

Colin, 45, has been hosting the Channel 4 show since Anne Robinson left in the summer.
But despite Countdown celebrating its 40th birthday this month, Colin has been nowhere to be seen.
Instead, a series of guest presenters have hosted the show, starting with Floella Benjamin last week.
This week, the honour has fallen to Richard Coles, while newsreader Moira Stuart will take her seat behind the hosting desk next week.
