Rachel Riley addresses Nick Hewer’s reaction to awkward Countdown moment ‘He knows'
Rachel Riley, 34, shared a Countdown viewer’s video on Twitter, which showed Nick Hewer, 76, discussing the word beaver with his co-stars.The six-letter word was unveiled from a conundrum the maths whizz put together at their guests' request.After Countdown guest Mike read out the word he found, Nick asked Susie Dent if there were “any more beavers in the corner”, while maintaining a straight face.Despite smirking at his remark, lexicographer Susie remained professional and confirmed the six-letter word was a legitimate word from the conundrum.Rachel could then be seen smiling at the camera, seemingly as an attempt not to laugh as she stood in front of the board, where "beaver" was written out.A viewer of the show shared the clip on Twitter
