QUOTES BY Rachel Riley


I don't think you need to get married necessarily. Girls just assume they will get married and have babies, but that isn't the right thing for everyone.

I've had inquiries for things like TV show 'Splash,' where people go out in front of the whole nation in a bikini. But I think bikinis are just for the beach.

I enjoy things that are relevant to me, like maths and science and 'Countdown,' and I don't want to offend our viewers.

I think we've come a long way with women's rights, but we've got a long way to go.

I was used to Essex boys growing up. Russian boys are a lot more gentlemanly and thoughtful. They will express their emotions a bit more.

Practising maths can be fun.

There is no time you should shut the doors, as there is always love out there for you.

I would have never dreamt in a million years I would go out with a ballroom dancer from Russia, as, when we were younger, we did not even speak the same language.

For a long time, I thought, 'I'm not a TV presenter,' but now I realise there's no typical route into this business.
