Game Show Host Accidentally Spells Inappropriate Word On Air

Rachel Riley was left red-faced when she managed to spell out 'S***Z' during one of the letter rounds on Countdown today.

The blonde host managed to put up the first four letters of S, L, U and T, leaving the crowd cringing.

And her conundrum only got worse seconds later when the fifth letter of Z popped up to make it plural.

Riley, a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, tried to urge host Nick Hewer to move on from the awkward moment by saying: "Lets speed this along."
