Countdown viewers seriously distracted by Rachel Riley’s eye-popping dress on Channel 4 show

COUNTDOWN viewers were seriously distracted by Rachel Riley's eye-popping dress on the Channel 4 show.

The 36-year-old was on hand once again to provide the letters and numbers to the two contestants.

Rachel looked beautiful in a blue speckled-print dress which featured a floaty capped sleeve and a plunging neckline.

The mum-of-two completed her look with her blonde hair styled in loose waves and natural looking makeup.

Her appearance left some Countdown viewers at home hot under their collars, with one tweeting: "My word, @RachelRileyRR on #Countdown today."

Another shared a screenshot of Rachel and joked: "There were apparently numbers and letters and stuff…." alongside an emoji face surrounded by hearts.

Rachel wasn't the only one to receive compliments from viewers today, as Dictionary Corner's Susie Dent was also praised.

One fan tweeted: "Sorry but Susie Dent is 57, forget the dictionary bbz, release the skin care routine x."

The women were joined by host Colin Murray, who has stepped in to front the show after Anne Robinson left earlier this year.

Originally cited as a temporary host, Colin, 45, has since had his tenure extended until March 2023.

Colin has said it is is "dream job" and told the Belfast Telegraph: "You could stop me now and I’d be dead happy.

“Yesterday, I was sitting during the round and all of a sudden I got a second where I was a kid again.

"I saw the clock and I just thought: ‘F*** me. What’s going on?’"

Countdown airs weekdays at 2.10pm on Channel 4.
