RACHEL Riley showed off her cheeky side on today's Countdown as she rearranged the letters into a suggestive statement.

The 32-year-old was in charge of the letters and numbers as usual but was obviously in a cheeky mood during one game.

After the contestants spotted the word "squirt" in the nine letters on the board, Rachel rearranged the remaining three letters above it so it spelled out the phrase: "OK I squirt".

Trying to keep a straight face, a mischievous grin started to appear and the star certainly had a glint in her eye before the camera returned to host Nick Hewer.

While the 73-year-old didn't bat an eyelid at Rachel's cheeky move, the moment didn't go unnoticed by Channel 4, who tweeted a still on it's official account along with the comment: "We'll just leave this here..."

Viewers were loving Rachel's naughty streak, with one writing on Twitter: "Looked like you really wanted to laugh when squirt came out on #Countdown @RachelRileyRR".

Another added: "Channel 4, channel four, channel filth" while a third tweeted: "crikey...thanks for sharing @RachelRileyRR".

Rachel isn't always the one behind a cheeky phrase appearing on the show though, and earlier this month she was left red faced as she was forced to spell out the word "asswipe".

The daytime programme's lexicographer Susie Dent suggested the word "asswipe" as a seven-letter word.

It came after her Dictionary Corner guest, TV presenter Raj Bisram, offered the word "passive".

Rachel had to spell out 'asswipe' earlier this month

Susie, laughing, told Nick: "Block your ears Nick, there is a US slang term for a fiendish or contemptible person, or toilet paper, and that's asswipe."

As the audience tittered in amusement over the word spelt out on the board by Rachel, Nick could not disguise his surprise.

 Nick couldn't believe the word was said on the show

He said: "I can't believe that's in the dictionary!"

Susie replied: "It is, and it's been there since the 1950s and it was found in Saul Bellow's novels."

To which Nick said: "Well, he was a great writer but that's no excuse for putting it into the... amazing."
