Pasha Kovalev and Rachel Riley appeared on Jon & Lucy’s Odd Couples last year and while filming the show viewers were, erm, treated to a shock confession from Countdown star Rachel.
Married couple Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont hosted the panel show, which made celebrity couples compete to prove they have the best relationship.
First to join the panel show was couples Rachel and Pasha and Richard Herring and Catie Wilkins – and Rachel dropped a shock confession to her husband.
Pasha Kovalev in shock response to a Rachel Riley confession
In the episode, Rachel and Pasha underwent a lie detector test as part of the tasks to prove they are the best couple.
The former Strictly professional asked his wife: “Do you wee in the shower?” during the test.
Rachel laughed and responded: “Yeah!”
Host Lucy Beaumont asked if Pasha if he minded that Riley wees in the shower.
But Pasha Kovalev, who met his wife when they were partnered together on Strictly, seemed unbothered, responding: “Not at all! It’s fun!”
The episode also saw Rachel reveal some embarrassing photos of Pasha, where he has a tendency to fall asleep in “random places” including naked on a sofa with just a cushion covering his modesty!

Wedding bells and baby girls
The confession hasn’t done the couples’ relationship much harm.
They are now proud parents to two gorgeous little girls – Maven and Noa – after marrying in secret in Vegas in 2019.
The family are also planning a move out of London in the next couple of years.
In an interview with The Times recently, Rachel said: “I think we’re hopefully going to move out of London in the next couple of years. Probably not back to Essex but somewhere commutable to London.
“Countdown is filmed in Salford, so somewhere we can get up and down to there as well. So probably west, I quite like west. I was at uni in Oxford and my brother is there as well.”
