Rachel Riley — best known for replacing Carol Vorderman as co-host on Countdown — has reportedly quit presenting Sky Sports’ Friday Night Football after receiving “hideous personal abuse” online.
Earlier this year, Riley caused outrage online after describing Tottenham Hotspur’s loss to West Ham in May as a “proper bottle job”.
The Manchester United supporter, who presented the show alongside Countdown alumni Jeff Stelling, will not be back next season, The Mirror claims.
“I love football, always have, always will, banter is fun, abuse is not whoever/whatever/wherever #respect.”
