I'd love to present a popular science programme because it's something I feel very passionate about.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
There's an ingrained mentality in our culture that women aren't as good. Other places, it doesn't exist.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
More than other subjects, there's a myth that you have to be an absolute genius to be good at maths and to enjoy it, so I think it's less accessible for people. Even the word 'maths' makes people screw their face up. They do the maths face.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I'm really lucky to be in the TV industry and to have a regular yearly contract. That gives me security.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
You can have your opinions, and you can share them with your friends, but why would you go online to tell a stranger something random about their appearance? I don't get that.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Some of the words that pop up on the show have had terrible connotations. But that's the beauty of 'Countdown.'
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Maths is like learning a language: you need to learn the basics to get going, but a lot of adults go into blind panic about numbers and switch off.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I love that once you know the basic rules of maths, you can do whatever you want with it.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
When I see myself on screen, I don't even feel like it's me - it's like it's a completely different person.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I'm the sort of person who has to learn something properly before I show anyone.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
When you're out shopping, try to calculate the discount of something in the sales, or work out how much a bill in a restaurant will come to. Your brain is just like any other muscle - you have to train it to make it work faster.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
If I find a dress I really like and it happens to be a bit short, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. The thing about going to Oxford is it does give you the confidence to be how you want to be.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I am lucky because I often get my makeup done by professionals, and they always try new ideas; I'll attempt to vaguely recreate what they've done.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I'm not into bags, so I don't pay a lot for them; I get them from H&M and Topshop.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
In TV, you get so many different opportunities, and especially, you get to try something different you don't get to do as a normal person, then great.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I didn't realise until I did CBT that I was a perfectionist. Whenever you do anything, there are always going to be things that go wrong, it's never going to be 100 per cent perfect. Because of how I was, I'd focus on those bits and always see the negative in anything.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I never would've thought of going on 'Strictly,' I mean, I went on because it's my mum's favourite programme in the world.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Digital exclusion is a difficult issue for families across the whole of the U.K., including my own. I love seeing my nan, but with such a busy schedule and a long distance between us, I don't get to see her nearly as often as I would like.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
A review of maths teaching is a great thing, but it's a complex issue, and often the damage is done in the very early years of education.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I'm a massive football fan, so when Ladbrokes approached me and asked me to take a look at the statistics, I jumped at the chance.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I'm very excited to be joining the 'Gadget Show' family. I'm always keen to try out new gadgets, so it's going to be brilliant to be able to get my hands on the latest models and test them on behalf of the viewers.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Maths is like a ladder - if you miss the first few rungs, you can't jump up, so start with the basics.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
In school productions, I was always villager No. 7. I was never at the front of the stage dancing and never had any lines.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
People can underestimate you when you're blonde and from Essex, but it's easy to shut that down. I used to get dumb blonde jokes when I was 18, but when I replied that I was studying maths at Oxford, it usually shut them up.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I take vitamin C and zinc every day to keep colds at bay. I also take calcium tablets to supplement my lack of dairy, and d-mannose, a cranberry extract thought to be good for women's health.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
My parents encourage me to save, but I do buy the odd thing that I wouldn't tell them about.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I was with my ex-husband for eight or nine years, and we became good friends. I met him at university, and our relationship ended. We are still good friends.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I was on 'Strictly' because I was getting stage fright. I was taught that I had to imagine what a good outcome would be and be happy with it.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
When I was little, I carried a book of times tables around everywhere and always tried to get the best score. I like the fact that you don't need any tools, only your head. I also enjoy rules and, with maths, you are either right or wrong.
