Flashback footage shows the blonde boffin showing off her trim figure in a long sleeved green jersey, black shorts and socks.

She even wore a pair of gloves to place letters on the board as host Jimmy quizzed her on whether she'd played football before.

Sports fan Rachel replied: "Yes, but I was more of an attacking midfielder or attacker, I wasn't much of a goalie."

The flashback footage comes after Rachel was left red faced after her tight blue dress burst open at the back during Monday's edition of the show.

She was placing letters on the board when the frock split.

The bright blue mini dress featured a cut out design which appeared to break open at the zip.

Bemused viewers of the long-running Channel Four show were quick to take to Twitter about the wardrobe slip.

One wrote: "What's going on with the back of Rachel's dress?"

Another added: "Wardrobe malfunction for Rachel Riley or her dress is one size too small for her."

Rachel's eye-catching outfits have won her many admirers.

Last month, viewers flooded YouTube with clips of her best dressed moments on Countdown.

One YouTube compilation is titled “Rachel Riley – Top 5 Shortest Dresses Ever” and another shows her attempting to play mini-golf onset wearing a very skimpy frock.
