Rachel Riley may escalate Anne Robinson feud by breastfeeding baby on Countdown filming breaks
RACHEL Riley may escalate her Countdown feud with Anne Robinson — by bringing in her baby for feeding.
The maths whiz is said to irritate new host Anne, 77, because she is noisy on set.
Now, heavily pregnant Rachel, 35, has hinted she plans to breastfeed the new arrival at the studio when she returns from maternity leave.
Rachel, who has 18-month-old girl Maven with dancer hubby Pasha Kovalev, gets back to work in January.
She said: “When you have a newborn, and especially when you have a toddler as well, you don’t have time for a shower.
“So when I get back to work someone will be paid to do my hair and make-up. You don’t recognise yourself the first time you go back because you’ve just been in mum mode and haven’t washed your hair for a while.”
We revealed last month Anne — who took over in June — gets irritated by the amount of noise Rachel makes.
She even ordered her microphone to be turned off ahead of filming.

Rachel told crew she “completely disagreed” with being silenced.
However the tension between the pair has seen ratings climb to their highest since 2012
