Rachel Riley proved that last-minute holiday shopping can be a struggle, especially with kids, when she shared a hilarious new video on Instagram on Sunday.
The Countdown star, 38, shares two daughters Maven, five, and Noa, three, with Strictly star husband Pasha Kovalev, 44.
And Rachel showed she can do it all as her youngest daughter Noa slept peacefully in a shopping trolley as she filled it with festive food from Marks & Spencer.
The TV star was seen running around the supermarket picking up 65 cent Brussels sprouts and bottles of wine to fit into the trolley around her little girl.
Rachel laughed as she piled the items on the cash register, while Noa continued to sleep in the shopping cart.
The mathematician wore a colorful pink striped sweater with skinny jeans and boots and placed some blue star stickers on her forehead.

She wrote: ‘4 more sleeps until Christmas. Our mistake was not specifying where and when’ as Leona Lewis’ Christmas hit One More Sleep played over the top.
Rachel added, “If only we could do this as adults….”
Rachel first met Pasha when they worked together on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, and their romance became official the following year.
She ended her 16-month marriage to ex-husband James Gilbert weeks after being eliminated from the series, with the split cited as another example of the ‘Strictly curse’.
The former couple had been together since they met when they were both studying at Oxford University.
Rachel and Pacha secretly married in Las Vegas in 2019. They welcomed Maven in December 2019 and their second daughter Noa in November 2021.
Rachel recently explained how difficult it can be to spend quality time with her husband due to their busy schedules.

Rachel said date nights can be rare for the couple, but the TV personality also admitted she wouldn’t change a thing, and she’s actually enjoying this stage of parenthood.
“When you first get together, when they’ve been gone for three months and you’ve only been together for a month, it’s a big deal,” she explained.
“But when you’ve been together for the better part of a decade and you can see a future of how many more decades you’ll be together, it kind of changes your perspective.
“It’s fun to have date nights, especially because we can be ships passing at night, especially if you have kids too.”
Speak with HELLO Earlier this year, the star revealed that the couple have no plans to have any more children and are happy with their two girls.
She explained, “We just came out of the woods and they can play together now.
“They can stay together for a while, it’s starting to get a little easier. So I think we’re at that point.”
Rachel also revealed that Maven is already following in her mother’s math footsteps, as she already requests to watch math videos for kids on YouTube.
