The maths whizz looked sensational as she wore a pale blue knitted bodycon dress which featured cream horizontal stripes.

The close fitting nature of the garment and the stripes highlighted her fantastic figure as she chatted to host Colin Murray and provided the contestants with the letters and numbers for each game.

Countdown viewers couldn't help but comment, with one writing on Twitter: "No "glory, glory Man Utd" in your message in a bottle after yesterday's result."
