Rachel had confirmed her pregnancy news in April, sharing two selfies from the set of the Channel 4 series, which showed off her baby bump.
In the caption of her post, Rachel joked that she didn’t need to hold her stomach in anymore as she wrote: ‘Nice being able to breathe again at work! No more stomach holding in, phew.’
Her post earlier that day showed her cradling her blossoming bump in a pretty black floral mini dress as she posed alongside the famous Countdown letters board.

With the titles spelling out the phrase ‘Fitt Riley’ Rachel asked her fans to guess what the correct word would be, with many quickly guessing it must be ‘Fertility’.
Rachel’s caption read: ‘A special teatime teaser! And your clure is… Riley had this to thank for the reason her clothes no longer fit her…
‘And it’ll only get worse till Autumn! Happy, happy days for our little family @pashakovalev and future big sister Mave.’

Rachel met husband Pasha while they competed on Strictly Come Dancing together in 2013, and they married six years later in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony, just weeks after announcing they were set to become parents.
The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Maven Aria in December 2019, with the star announcing her arrival after the tot was two weeks overdue.
Pasha recently revealed he worries how cruel online trolls’ hurtful messages to his wife could affect their unborn baby.

The dancer, 41, said he can see how the abuse Rachel receives online ‘stresses her’.
Speaking to The Mirror, he said: ‘I definitely can see how it stresses her. The smallest stress affects how the baby’s development is going.’
Pasha added that he hates seeing hate flourish online where there is less accountability.

He explained: ‘If you come up to someone on the street and tell them something like that, you’re probably going to get some sort of repercussion. You’d be held accountable for your actions.
‘Online there’s a limited amount of repercussion, and it opens a floodgate. It should be stopped.’
Rachel previously told how the stress of receiving hateful messages online stopped her first daughter from kicking when she was pregnant with her.
The TV star had been a vocal critic of Jeremy Corbyn and the anti-Semitism row in the Labour Party and received horrific messages online as a result.
Speaking on the Trolled podcast with Tracy-Ann Oberman, she said: ‘I was very stressed and upset for a couple of days and my baby stopped wriggling for a couple of days.
‘So at that point, it’s like, “You know what, nah”. It’s not worth the hormones. I’ve now changed most of my Twitter settings as you don’t need to see them.
‘They’re not after proper debate. They’re not after their minds changing. They’re not doing it for virtuous reasons, so I block them.’
