She's known as the pretty brain box of Channel 4's Countdown.

But Rachel Riley unveiled her less serious side as she posed in a fun themed photoshoot for a new cereal advert.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant looked every inch the Egyptian pharaoh as she was transformed into a modern-day Cleopatra for the visual. 

Rachel, 30, was dressed in three different dresses which perfectly emulated the theme the set stylist was hoping for.

The first gown was a black thigh-split number, featuring contrasting edges, while the cut exposed her slender arms and shoulders.

The Essex native completed her look with a dark-coloured braided wig, a gold crown and stacked bangles while she cautiously draped a snake around her shoulders.

Rachel made the most of her slim figure as she slipped into a sparkling gold gown which featured a thigh-high split.

She perfected the walk like an Egyptian pose which offered a generous glimpse of one of her legs thanks to the cutaway hemline.

The former Channel 5 star further elongated her lengthy limbs with a pair of black caged-design stilettos which sunk into the fake sand. 

Rachel proved herself to be quite the snake whisperer as she mostly looked in control of the wriggly reptiles.

Although one outtake showed her struggling to stop the creature slipping out of her hands.

Rachel has been named the face of Kellogg's new cereal range, entitled Ancient Legends, a new range of granolas, mueslis and cereals featuring healthy ancient grains.
