Blimey RR is nothing if not a maths boff and a trouper. Gestation period of an ELEPHANT. Currently about as wide as she is high. Seems determined to see her Countdown thing out til her waters break, probably on air. And good luck to her stand-in and to C4 when she (simple tap-in) takes C4 to court six months down the line for her post-maternity leave job back - even tho she'd shrewdly be far happier with the finacial settlement.

Rachel has already had her baby. Rachel is proof that beauty and brains can sometimes go together. She has a great Twitter account too.

Anyone know who her maternity cover is? I know they approached Vorderman to come back on loan and she turned them down.

I don't think they are replacing her while she on maternity leave. I believe they have been filming extra episodes to get ahead of themselves so Rachel won't miss any filming, which is probably why she seems to have been pregnant for the past 2 years.

Doubt if they will. Probably got a few more pre-recorded week's worth in the can; she's pretty fit so will probably recover quickly - plus she's got plenty to spare for child-care - so she'll soon be back in her new role as the nation's old men's favourite yummy mummy!

Too busy selling the Sun Life Over 55 Equity Release loan, plus the plastic may melt under the TV lights.
