Countdown host Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovolev are currently awaiting the birth of their first child in December and by the looks of it baby on the way has already been inundated with gifts ready for his or her arrival – thanks to generous fans and numerous companies.

Taking to Instagram to thank everyone for their generosity Rachel revealed that she and her husband are extremely grateful for everyone’s kind heartedness and as a result they’ll be donating money to the charity Tusk. She wrote:

This baby’s incredibly lucky it’s already been given so many gifts by generous companies and lovely Countdown viewers. 💕 Pash and I are very grateful and the last people who might need freebies so to pay it forward will be donating money to charity as a thank you. There’s definitely a wildlife theme here so @tusk_org seem like a worthy recipient!
