Rachel Riley proved that last-minute Christmas shopping can be tough, especially with kids, as she shared a fun new video on Instagram on Sunday.
The Countdown star, 38, shares two daughters, Maven, five, and Noa, three, with her Strictly star husband Pasha Kovalev, 44.
And Rachel proved she can do it all as her youngest daughter Noa slept peacefully in a shopping trolley while she stocked it up with festive food at Marks & Spencer.
The TV star was seen running around the supermarket picking up 65p Brussels sprouts and bottles of wine placing them in the trolley around her little girl.
Rachel laughed as she stacked the items in the box while Noa continued to sleep in the cart.
The mathematician was wearing a colorful pink striped sweater with a pair of skinny jeans and boots and sported several blue star stickers on her forehead.

She wrote: ‘4 more nights until it’s Christmas. Our mistake was not specifying where and when,” while Leona Lewis’ Christmas hit, One More Sleep, sounded overdone.
Rachel added: ‘If only we could do this like adults…’
Rachel first met Pasha when they teamed up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, and their romance became official the following year.
She ended her 16-month marriage to ex-husband James Gilbert weeks after being written out of the series, and the split is cited as another example of the ‘strict curse’.
The former couple had been together since they met when they were both studying at Oxford University.
Rachel and Pacha secretly married in Las Vegas in 2019, welcomed Maven in December 2019 and their second daughter, Noa, in November 2021.
Rachel recently detailed how difficult it can be to spend quality time with her husband due to their busy schedules.

Rachel said date nights may be strange for the couple, but the TV personality also admitted she wouldn’t change a thing and, in fact, is enjoying this phase of parenthood.
“When you first get together, if they’re away for three months and you’ve only been together a month, it’s a big deal,” he explained.
“But when you’ve been together for the better part of a decade and can see the future of how many more decades you’ll be together, your perspective changes.
“It’s nice to have date nights, especially because we can be ships that pass through the night, especially when you have kids too.”
talking to HELLO Earlier this year, the star revealed that the couple does not plan to have any more children and is happy with their two daughters.
She explained: ‘We are starting to get out of the woods and now they can play together.
“You can leave them together for a while, it’s starting to get a little easier.” So I think we are on that note.”
Rachel also revealed that Maven is already following in her mother’s maths footsteps, as she asks to watch kids’ maths videos on YouTube.
