There's no denying that the best thing about 'Countdown' is the risk that a rude word could be spelled out on the board at any moment, and on Tuesday (22 March), viewers' patience paid off.

Co-host Rachel Riley was left red-faced after the word 'cliteased' came up on the Channel 4 daytime quiz show.

And of course, the people of the Twittersphere couldn't stop laughing like a bunch of schoolchildren at the blunder:

Watching Countdown on my break and the first 4 letters Rachel selects spell "CLIT". This is the highlight of my working week.

Rachel also joined in on the joke after being inundated with tweets as the show aired, taking to the social networking site to say:

I was wondering why I’d had so many tweets this afternoon…mystery solved! 😳 pic.twitter.com/Z4hugrtSI3

It's not the first time that something like this has happened on 'Countdown'.

Rachel has previously spelled out words including 'slutz', 'erection', 'gobshite', 'orgasmed' and 'todgers', after contestants picked from a mix of vowels and consonants to play the game.

'Countdown' airs weekdays at 3.10pm on Channel 4.
