Rachel Riley, 33, and Pasha Kovalev, 39, are excitedly awaiting the arrival of their first baby, which is due to be born before Christmas. However, the Countdown host has admitted the prospect of becoming parents is “scary” for her and the former Strictly Come Dancing professional.
Fortunately, Rachel was recently given the opportunity to test out being a mum as she took part in new reality series My Famous Babysitter on W.
Speaking about the experience to The Mirror, the presenter said: “It’s crazy how the universe has plans for you.
“At the end of last year I was thinking about a family and I guess this show is the only way you can try before you buy with kids!”
She went on to reveal: “Pasha and I are honestly really excited.

Documenting their encounter, she tweeted: “Harry, 97, @RoyalVolService lunch club luncher: Kisses my hand, starts flirting.
“Me: It’s too late for us Harry! Points to wedding ring, points to bump.”
She continued: “Harry: It’s not mine is it?!
“Such a character! Really lovely to see the difference the volunteers make.”
Earlier in the day, Rachel shared a clip where she was seen visiting Mill End Lunch Club to meet volunteers and witness how Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) provides older people with a chance to eat a nutritious meal in the company of others.
The pregnant mathematics expert tweeted: “Many older people don’t get to share meals with family or friends. @RoyalVolService lunch clubs, run by volunteers, are a lifeline for many older people across the country!
“Visit #MakeADifference to find out how you can #MakeADifference in your community with RVS too!”
