Rachel Riley has shared the challenges of parenting during the summer break. The TV personality, known for her role on Countdown, met her spouse Pasha Kovalev during their participation in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2013. Together, they have two children: six-year-old Maven and four-year-old Noa.

Managing schedules during the summer holidays has been particularly tough for Rachel, 40, and Pasha, both of whom are self-employed. With Pasha set to embark on a tour from September to November, the couple is currently juggling their availability to care for their kids. Rachel highlighted the complexities of coordinating their work commitments as working parents.

Despite the hurdles, Rachel emphasized that she and Pasha find ways to make it work by not striving for perfection. She pointed out that children do not necessarily require both parents present all the time, acknowledging the different dynamics in various households.

While their relationship began through Strictly Come Dancing, Rachel mentioned that she might not have time to follow the upcoming season due to her busy schedule. She expressed that she would likely be handling childcare responsibilities alone while Pasha is on tour.

Beyond her personal life, Rachel is leading Energizer’s Summer Safety Swap campaign, aiming to raise awareness about the dangers of lithium coin batteries. She stressed the importance of parents being informed about the risks associated with these batteries, which can lead to emergencies if swallowed. Rachel advised on proper handling and disposal methods to prevent accidents.

Partnering with Energizer, Rachel encourages families to safeguard their homes by replacing old lithium coin batteries with the new Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ batteries, designed to prevent ingestion burns if swallowed.
