Rachel Riley shows off baby bump as she leaves Countdown studios alongside Anne Robinson

She’s getting ready to welcome her second child with husband Pasha Kovalev.

And Rachel Riley, 35, proved she’s bumping along nicely on Tuesday, when she was seen leaving the Countdown studios wearing a plunging, sky blue dress.

Also stepping out after filming in Salford was host Anne Robinson, 76, who cut a low-key figure in a red baseball cap and sunglasses as she went about her day.

Rachel teamed her floaty dress with open-toe sandals and wore her glossy blonde hair swept back off her face.

Carrying her belongings in a stylish patterned rucksack, the star appeared in high spirits and flashed photographers a smile.

Meanwhile, TV veteran Anne opted for black trousers and a black raincoat, beneath which she wore a crisp white T-shirt.

The presenter opted for comfort in red boat shoes and carried both a black rucksack and chic red handbag.

Rachel and her Strictly star husband already share 18-month-old daughter Maven, and the soon-to-be mother-of-two announced she was pregnant again in April.

Elsewhere, Anne – who made her debut as the new host of Countdown in June – has proved popular with fans of the show.

The presenter admitted ahead of her debut episode that she had been ‘nervous’, and while some viewers picked up on this, they seemed impressed overall.

And Anne won round any naysayers at the end of the episode when she closed the show with her trademark wink while saying ‘goodbye’.

Made famous during her stint as the ‘queen of mean’ on The Weakest Link, Anne’s wink appeared to be the only quirk she has brought with her to Countdown, with the star exuding a notably softer side for the tea-time quiz.
