Spinning Plates EP 103 - Rachel Riley

Rachel Riley is the co-host and face of maths on Countdown and a self-confessed 'proper maths geek'. When I went on countdown’s dictionary corner, I was so impressed by Rachel’s arithmetic! So fast - it’s a joy to watch.
Rachel and I first met me 10 years ago when we were both on Strictly together. When we chatted recently we touched on those rollercoaster competition weeks, and the mild PTSD which Rachel experienced afterwards. However she also said she got some good things out of it, namely her lovely husband, Pasha and their two children.
Last month Rachel picked up her MBE for services to Holocaust Education. She also told me about the vitriolic trolling that she suffered during her campaign against antisemitism, which coincided with the birth of her first daughter. Rachel’s bravery is incredible. It’s one thing to see something you think is unjust but so brilliant to do something about it, even in the face of adversity.
She and her husband are bringing up their two little daughters to speak both English and Russian, with a little Ukrainian added into the mix.
