Meanwhile, host Colin Murray seemed unfazed by his potential competition as he replied to Riley's tweet with laughing emojis.
The 45-year-old became the permanent host of Countdown last month after becoming a fan-favourite.
Rachel's role on the show is to primarily handle the placement of the tiles on the board for the letters and numbers rounds.
But the brainy star also has to step in and find an exact solution when it comes to the numbers round if the contestants are unable to do so.
Countdown airs weekdays from 2:10pm on Channel 4.
