Countdown’s Nick Hewer and Rachel Riley in stitches over the memory of cheeky slip
Among the near-impossible sums, the daytime TV game show has enjoyed its fair share of rude moments
IT'S the gentle daytime TV game show that has us flexing our maths skills.
But amongst the near-impossible sums, Countdown has enjoyed its fair share of rude moments.
Fans of the Channel 4 programme have been left in hysterics after a clip resurfaced of presenter Nick Hewer dropping the best sexual innuendo of all time.
The 72-year-old silver fox had resident numbers whizz Rachel Riley, 30, in fits of giggles with the seemingly-innocent comment.
Naughty Nick dropped the cackle-inducing double entendre during a ridiculously easy numbers game.
The contestants were tasked with making the number 700 – with a seven and a 100 at their disposal.
Sensing Rachel’s disappointment at how simple the puzzle was, Nick quipped: “Poor old Rachel, she’s gagging for a hard one.”
The laugh-out-loud clip aired on Saturday night’s edition of ITV’s It’ll Be Alright On The Night.
It has gained a new following after being shared on Twitter by Rachel.
She wrote: “Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick…!”, alongside lots of crying-laughter face emojis.
Embarrassed Nick replied: “OH DEAR ME.”
Meanwhile, Rachel has previously had to spell out the word “bumhole” during the letters round.
Other corkers have included “SLUT”, “ERECTION”, “ARSE” and “ORGAMSED”.
Comedian Alistair McGowan threw that one in the ring, saying: “There’s dampers for seven – and Susie orgasmed, for eight.”
