Countdown star Rachel Riley and husband Pasha Kovalev have announced that they are expecting their second child.

Riley shared the couple's happy news by posting a photo of herself in front of the Countdown letter board with the letters "FITTRILEY".

"A special teatime teaser!" she wrote.

"And your clue is... Riley had this to thank for the reason her clothes no longer fit her... And it'll only get worse till Autumn!

"Happy, happy days for our little family @pashakovalev and future big sister Mave."

Riley and professional dancer Kovalev met when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2013. They married in Las Vegas in 2019 and their daughter, Maven, was born later that year.
