A 'rude word' was spelt out on Countdown earlier this week, with a guest smirking over it while Rachel Riley managed to keep a straight face on the Channel 4 show.
The latest episode saw reigning champion Quinn Bartlett compete against new contestant Leome Francis - with them taking on the iconic letters round and the numbers round.
Rachel, 36, placed a selection of vowels and consonants on the board for the first round, with Quinn and Leome both thinking up possible words whilst against the clock.
Following the timer, the two competitors were asked to put forward their longest options - with Leome having found a six letter word, whilst Quinn had got an eight letter word.
Quinn smirked as he offered the word "urinates" for eight points, with host Colin Murray, 45, seemingly amused too. He confirmed the chosen word, saying: "Urinates is there!"
Co-presenter Rachel was seen shortly afterwards as she looked at the word spelled out on her board, before looking towards the camera - with her straight-faced as she did so.
Leome had found the word 'purist' among the letters, which meant he didn't get any points - as Quinn's longer word bagged him a total of eight points during the first round.

The scene unsurprisingly caught the attention of viewers during the episode, with some of them sharing stills of the word spelt out on the board on Twitter this afternoon.
And it's of course not the first time that a rude word has featured on the show, with other examples over the years having included "cr*pped" as well as "w*****s".
The latest example comes ahead of Les Dennis, 68, temporarily taking over for Colin as a guest presenter for a number of episodes this month on the Channel 4 show.
The comedian said in a tweet in the afternoon: "I start my brief run as host on [Countdown] tomorrow."
Les added that he will be in the seat as main presenter until August 15.
Countdown airs weekdays on Channel 4 at 2.10pm. Catch up on previous episodes through on demand service All4.
