As soon as I am out of my work clothes, I am in flat shoes, stretchy leggings, and a cashmere jumper; it's all low maintenance.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I have loved 'Countdown' for years. I always used to watch it when I got home from school. To be actually on the programme is a big challenge.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I am the type of person who just gets on with whatever life throws at you. I have a 'do first, worry later' kind of attitude.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I am aware of some of the things about me on the Internet - like people putting up pictures of me online every single day on something called Rachel Watch!
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Isolation among older people is a massive problem, and my grandad used to come round for Sunday lunch every week for as long as I can remember.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I think you regret the things that you don't do more than the things you do.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Filming 'It's Not Rocket Science' has made me realise I'm missing the part of my brain that warns me about danger because - even though the tasks are terrifying - I find it really exciting.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I like being known for being good at maths and having a brain. If I've been asked to do something but it's not relevant to me, I don't do it. I'd feel a bit of an idiot just turning up in a dress.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Very fitted dresses look much better on TV, even though in reality they might be so tight that I can barely move in them.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Winter is my favourite season for clothes because I'm happiest wearing knitted dresses, leggings, and Uggs.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I'm 5ft 7in tall and a size six to eight on top and eight to ten on the bottom. Consequently, I get a lot of my clothes altered to fit, as I am always between sizes.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I've been a fan of 'Countdown' for as long as I can remember, and this is a dream job.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I only applied for 'Countdown' as a bit of a laugh while applying for lots of other graduate jobs. I've had some amazing opportunities, and I've loved every minute.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
The paso doble is my favourite dance on 'Strictly,' so I'm so pleased I get to do it.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
Being bad at maths shouldn't be something to brag about, and I'm glad people are waking up to this, but there's no reason be embarrassed to look for help when it comes to numeracy.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
'I'm a Celebrity' is not my cup of tea whatsoever. I don't like the animal cruelty in it, to be honest.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
When I was at uni, our whole college bar would gather around the quiz machine for a few games every night.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
The best thing about 'Strictly' is it doesn't matter what level you start at, if you've never put a foot in front of the other in your life.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
University was a shock to the system. At times, I really thought I couldn't do it. It's the same with 'Strictly.' I'm completely out of my comfort zone.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
My parents supported me through university, and after I graduated, I got a job as an analyst at a price comparison website called TotallyMoney.com.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
From my personal experience, because I'm in a relationship, on paper I would never have imagined - I'm an Essex girl, maths geek who likes football, and I've ended up with a Russian ballroom dancer, and I guess the things you think are important, especially when you're younger, turn out not to be.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I'm really interested in male and female brains and whether female brains or male brains are better at maths.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
It's always flattering when you get compliments, but it's more of a measure of who you are at the time than anything else.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
You sit men and women down and give them a maths test, and they will do fairly equally. Then you set up the same test, but with different people, and make them tick a box to say whether they are a man or a woman, and the women do significantly worse in the maths test than they did previously in a group set.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I cycle, especially in warm weather. If I have a meeting in town, I would rather cycle than go by car.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I like to do things where you do learn something and go on a journey, such as 'Strictly Come Dancing.'
Quote by -Rachel Riley
We go to the banya, the Russian spa. And you go into the sauna, which is really hot, much hotter than a normal sauna, and then they beat you with branches.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
There's no reason for men to be better at maths than women - it's just about our perception.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I think there is a real negative attitude to splitting up with someone in our society, but it is good to stay friends.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
I use a stylist, which wasn't something I imagined I'd ever do, because I like shopping, but because we prerecord 'Countdown,' I don't want to wear something that everyone has from the high street by the time the programme goes out.
Quote by -Rachel Riley
There's no such thing as a 'maths brain.' Anyone can be numerate; it's just a matter of confidence. There are so many opportunities to improve your skills during everyday life, doing even a little a day can make maths feel more familiar and less scary.
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.
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
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
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 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
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
In school productions, I was always villager No. 7. I was never at the front of the stage dancing and never had any lines.
