Things got rather cheeky on Countdown today
During the filming of Channel 4’s popular daytime quiz show Countdown and an eight letter word brought the round to a standstill.
Countdown wordsmith and number cruncher Rachel Riley tweeted out a picture of the suggestive word this evening.
Sometimes these words just pop up unexpectedly...gotta love the day job! @C4Countdown pic.twitter.com/8YGJ66C2ks

Twitter of course was a minefield of excellent puns.
@RachelRileyRR @C4Countdown stiff task getting that word!
