Countdown viewers left blushing over 'orgasmed' spelling round



Letters chosen during one round of the Channel 4 show spelt the word �orgasmed� and the eight-letter contribution was displayed by presenter Rachel Riley.

Contestants had to find the longest word from the selection of nine letters chosen � E, A, S, R, P, G, O, M and D.

The best efforts by the players were the six-letter �grapes� and seven-letter �grasped� in the edition of the afternoon show.

But lexicographer Susie Dent, 46, in dictionary corner, came up with �orgasmed�. Host Nick Hewer, 69, said: �Oh, well done.�

Rachel, 27, who competed on this year�s Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 before she was knocked out in week six, then arranged the letters on the board.

The word �orgasmed� has appeared on the show before. It was used in the final three years ago when Jeff Stelling was the presenter.
