Countdown star Rachel Riley has confirmed she has married her Strictly Come Dancing partner Pasha Kovalev in a secret Las Vegas wedding over the weekend.

The TV presenter, who is expecting her first child, revealed the news on her Instagram and Twitter, posting a photo of the pair hugging, whilst she stunned in a red and white mini dress.

Telling her 398,000 Instagram followers the fantastic news, she captioned the picture, 'Introducing the new Mr and Mrs Kovalev 🥰 We both said yes! 👰🏼🤵🏻💍🥂💕'.

Their marriage announcement comes weeks after the pair, who met on the hit BBC1 show, announced they were expecting a baby in the BEST way. Their baby is 100% going to be the smartest child on earth.

Using her trusty Countdown wordboard, Rachel used the conundrum 'RTINYMATE' to make her followers guess her news, but the caption really gave it away!

She wrote, 'Pash and I have a conundrum for you...you have till December to work it out! We’re over the moon excited �'.

And their baby announcement isn't the only Strictly baby on the way as Strictly professional Gorka Marquez is expecting a baby with former Emmerdale actress Gemma Atkinson! They also met on the show.
