RACHEL Riley was hotting up the screens during the latest episode of Countdown.

The blonde bombshell looked radiant as she graced screens during the latest episode of the Channel 4 quiz game.

She was on hosting duties alongside fellow Countdown resident Suzie Dent and special guest host Trevor McDonald.

Rachel looked elegant in the dress which featured a floral pattern running across the outfit.

The red and pink floral detailing helped to brighten up the dress and enhanced its darker blue base colour.

Her blonde locks featured simple waves rolling down to her shoulders as she kept one side of it tucked behind her ear.

She completed her stunning look with a splash of simple yet effective make-up and minimal jewellery in order to keep the focus entirely on the impressive outfit.

Rachel was working alongside Trevor who was standing in for regular host Colin Murray as part of a month long series of special episodes to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the programme.

Trevor is one of a number of specially chosen guest hosts who have been given the honour of hosting a week on the show.

Sitting in the famous hosting seat as well as Sir Trevor are Baroness Floella Benjamin, Reverend Richard Coles and Moira Stuart who will all take it in turns to host a week of episodes each.

The stars will appear on the show alongside Rachel and Suzie as they celebrate the iconic milestone of the afternoon favourite. 

At the time of announcing the series of specials, the head of daytime and features for Channel 4, Jo Street, excitedly said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming these national treasures to the Countdown hotseat to mark this 40th anniversary milestone and are equally delighted to have enticed the remarkable Sir Trevor McDonald back to Salford.

“Countdown is a much loved institution, and we couldn’t imagine Channel 4 without it. Here’s to the next 40!”
