SOUTHEND'S Rachel Riley cracked a grin on Countdown yesterday as she predicted an awkward word could be spelled out on the board.
The combination formed on the board during the first round of yesterday's game when contestants Thomas and Mike picked their letters.
Fans of the show got the impression Rachel had spotted a potential word already, as a an awkward smile appeared on her face.
The 36-year-old shot a knowning look at the camera after she presented the letters I, N, V, A, A and G.

The contestants had the same idea as the Southend personality, with Thomas revealing his word first.
The final set of letters was I, N, V, A, A, G, S, U and K and Thomas told show presenter Colin Murray his word was 'vagina'.
Unfortunately he was beaten by Mike, who chose the word 'vaginas.'
Clearly amused, Colin said: "Vaginas, well, there you go, putting an s on the end, what a difference that makes.
"Always pluralise. Pluralise everything, and there you go."
