Rachel Riley is knocked over by her daughter Maven, two

She is a doting mother of two.

And Rachel Riley was playfully knocked over by her daughter Maven, two, as the little one enthusiastically greeted her while she left Countdown filming on Wednesday.

The TV presenter, 36, tumbled to the floor outside Media City in Salford, Manchester after her daughter ran to her as her husband Pasha Kovalev, 42, chuckled on. 

Rachel looked summer chic in a flowery midi dress which had a plunging neckline and was cinched in at the waist to show off her figure. 

She completed her stylish summer look with white Veja trainers and wore her blonde tresses in a low pony tail while opting for a slick of bright pink lip. 

Pasha and Rachel are parents to nine-month-old Noa and two-year-old Maven together and married in 2019.

It comes after television presenter Anne Robinson, 77, bade farewell to Channel 4’s Countdown in July after joining in June 2021.

It has been claimed the cast of Countdown are ‘relieved’ Anne is leaving after reports of an on-set feud with Rachel – who Anne reportedly found ‘too noisy’ – and Susie Dent.

Rachel seemingly made a swipe at her former co-star as she took to Instagram on recently to share a cryptic post.

Kind: Her daughter and Pasha met her after she had finished her work on Wednesday and brought her treats from Costa 

The TV presenter shared a selfie of herself sporting a strawberry-print dress and flashing a huge grin as she enjoyed a glass of wine at home.

Alongside the photograph, she made a thinly veiled swipe at Anne as she wrote that she was ‘toasting’ the ‘next chapter in Countdown’s history’.

She penned: ‘Drinking a toast to the next chapter in Countdown’s history… I think you’re going to like it!’

Rachel’s apparent jibe comes after Anne admitted that Rachel is ‘noisy’ and that she ‘wouldn’t go on holiday’ with her, but dismissed claims of a feud after she quit Countdown.

Speaking with Emma Barnett on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, she admitted that she had been annoyed by their time-keeping and noisiness.

But she later said: ‘They’re both brilliant at what they do. I mean they really, really are. Channel 4 are incredibly lucky to have them. And there isn’t a rift.

‘It was me wanting everyone to be quiet in the studio. I like everyone turning up on time and quiet, quiet, quiet. So we did have to iron that out. But that’s it.’

Anne continued: ‘I think we all came to an agreement that we would have mics off before we went into a record, which gave me time to have a chat with the contestants – that’s all – and remind them what their hobbies are.’

Describing Rachel, she said: ‘She is brilliant at those numbers, what else can I say.’
