Her History in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women
2009 #95
Rachel was born in 1986 – four years after predecessor Carol Vorderman started working on Countdown.
She went to Oxford University, where she studied maths. Yup – hardcore.
Speaking of which, if you Google her name with ‘safe search’ turned off, you get porn. Sadly not involving her.
In 2009 she was recruited by the Post Office to help holidaymakers get the most out of their foreign currency.

After 26 years on Countdown, we’d completely exhausted any erotic potential that Carol Vorderman might have once had. So it was with a testicular sigh of relief that we saw Channel 4 trade Carol in for a much younger model – Rachel Riley. Essex-raised and Oxford-educated, the 23-year-old beat off 1,000 other applicants despite having no TV experience. If any FHM readers are a bit slow on the uptake, she’s the one on the show who isn’t Jeff Stelling.
Rachel took over in what is known as the 60th series of the show, but is only on our telly screens because her mum told her to audition. Well done that lady. Rachel admits it was tough to deal with comments levelled at her before she even started the show. "That hurt" she says. This makes us angry, so we've gone all Spooks and have bugged everywhere to find those responsible for such jibes. You have been warned.
Rachel's got a sharp sense of humour too, once revealing a Countdown conundrum by saying it described Jeff (it said OBESEJERK, feel free to work out what it was an anagram of). And it gets better: she's in to football. She openly admits to being a big Manchester United fan, so big in fact that she even presented an MUTV show where she was taken round their Carrington training ground. Of course, unless you're Clarke Carlisle you probably don't find time to watch Countdown as a Manchester United footballer, you're too busy holidaying in Dubai or sleeping with escorts.
