It’s an 18-month old clip but viewers are suddenly going nuts for Rachel Riley after realising she went X-rated for an episode of Countdown – and all before the watershed. The 31-year-old was sporting a hint of nipple after opting to go braless in a tight-fitting pink dress in a throwback clip of the Channel 4 letters and numbers game show.

Tomlinson, 77, is adamant that a documentary that aired on ITV on the night of his trial titled ‘Red Under the Bed’ and presented by the Countdown legend – who died in 2005 – and Woodrow Wyatt, persuaded members of the jury to put him away.

The 55-year-old is reportedly in talks with ITV and expected to be offered a six-figure sum to appear in the new series. ITV chiefs are also hoping that she will be the brains of the camp. Vorders joins a shortlist of possible I’m A Celeb cast-members, including Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews and Lauren Hutton, Team GB Olympic gymnast Louis Smith, and former Strictly Come Dancing rivals Ola Jordan and Aliona Vilani.
