RACHEL Riley left an Antiques Roadshow host red in the face after making a cheeky comment about an unusual “boob” shaped item.
The Countdown co-host made the “crude” remark as she appeared on a pre-recorded episode of the show, in which she was still heavily pregnant.
Rachel, 35, who welcomed her second child with husband and Strictly Come Dancer professional Pasha Kovalev this week, was seen looking for auction items.
She visited an antiques shop alongside Antiques Roadshow expert David Harper, who decided to get her to guess what the unusual item was.
He pointed towards a silver stand, which was fitted with two white circles – saying: “I know you love quizzes, so I’ve got an object here, can you guess what it is?”
Rachel took a look at it and appeared to be holding back a giggle as she said: “I don’t want to be crude but it’s something with boobies isn’t it?”
She went on to add of the strange antique object as David lifted it up and spun it around: “It’s got the booby shape with the littlr screw nipples.”
“It’s a bra stand!” David at last revealed, but Rachel couldn’t believe it as she pointed out the stand didn’t have “shoulders” to hold up the straps.
She suggested it could be for a “corset” instead as she picked it up, adding: “Look at the size of it, I’m just going to grab it.”
Placing it next to her own chest, she joked: “Compared to me – and I know I am pregnant and everything – but how small was this woman?”
“Well, people come in all shapes and sizes,” David replied as he was left blushing, quickly changing the subject to discuss how much it could be worth.

David explained he didn’t think it would bring in much money “but it would give them some fun” at the auction house.
Earlier this week, Rachel took to Instagram to share an adorable new snap with her little girl Noa and quipped that the four-day-old looked like the former football player, who was known as the “baby-faced assassin”.
In the snap, Rachel beamed as she held on tightly to her new daughter while clad in a pink jumper that featured the word “love” three times in red.
Baby Noa looked equally adorable in a rainbow-print onesie as she cuddled into her mum.
Writing alongside the shot, Rachel couldn’t help but cheekily suggest that her little one had an uncanny resemblance to the 48-year-old Man Utd boss.
The maths whizz penned: “PS Is it just me or does she look a bit like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer here?
“Guess they didn’t call him the baby-faced assassin for nothing” alongside several laughing emojis.
After sharing the snap, several followers commented on the baby’s likeness to the Norwegian football manager.
