Countdown’s was left red-faced after Giles Coren spelt out a rather rude-sounding word on the board during Tuesday’s episode.
The TV presenter, 36, was left visibly surprised after columnist Giles, 52, revealed he had created a winning eight-letter word – that was unfortunately also an innuendo.
Players Leigh and Craig had revealed the six-letter words they had each come up with, as Craig told the show’s main host he had found the term ‘enable’ while Leigh had ‘blouse’.

But when Anne handed over to Dictionary Corner, guest Giles managed to trump both contestants as he proudly declared his rather rude sounding eight-letter word ‘noshable’.
Explaining the meaning of his word, he said: ‘When you have a delicious lunch and it’s noshable.’
Lexicographer Susie Dent confirmed the term was in the dictionary and means ‘tasty’, with Rachel appeared wide-eyed as she stood beside the word spelt out on the board.
Rachel shared a picture of the awkward moment to her Twitter page alongside the side-eye emoji and the emoji of a monkey covering its eyes.
