'COUNTDOWN' MATHS WHIZZ RACHEL RILEY ON WHY TWO IS THE PERFECT NUMBER FOR HER FAMILY

Rachel Riley is certainly ringing in a landmark year. On 11 July, she not only received her MBE from the King for services to Holocaust education, she also marked the ten-year anniversary of meeting husband Pasha Kovalev in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom. So what's next for the mathematician?

One thing that's not on the cards, the doting mum to daughters Maven, three, and 21-month-old Noa, tells HELLO!, is another baby.

"We're happy where we are," she says. "If I had all the help in the world and all the staff in the world to keep having babies... but I think we're happy with two.

"We're just starting to get out of the woods and Maven and Noa can play together now. They can be left together for a little bit. It's starting to get a little bit easier."

TIME TOGETHER

Rachel, 37, and Pasha, 43, live in London with their daughters and balance parenting with their work schedules - Pasha is touring the UK with the musical La Bamba while Rachel co-presents Channel 4's words and numbers game Countdown.

However, they always put aside time for the important things and enjoyed a romantic dinner date for their fourth wedding anniversary, on 28 June.

"We don't get out too much because of the little ones and because he's been away a lot, so we went for a nice dinner, had a few drinks and went home," Rachel says. "It was just nice to spend time together. That's all we need now."
