There was another amazingly rude moment on Countdown

Childish? Absolutely. Yet there’s nothing quite like a vulgar word popping up on Countdown and presented by Rachel Riley. From the time her real-life partner Pasha Kovalev spelt out, well, read it for yourself…

• Countdown’s Rachel Riley is left embarrassed after Strictly’s Pasha Kovalev spells out rude word
• Dictionary Corner’s Susie Dent spelt out a swearword on Countdown

To this very NSFW one Susie Dent spotted…

This naughty one…

Oh, and this...

Now, a recent edition of the Channel 4 quiz show has given us another word to pretend to be mature about. After the 30 seconds of anagramming were up, one contestant offered the answer ‘squirt’. Perfectly innocent by itself, you might say, but unfortunately Rachel Riley left a few letters above that word. And that left this sentence on the board...

Nope. Nothing funny about that.

Countdown airs weekdays at 2.10pm on Channel 4
