The 35-year-old presenter revealed the male fan and his wife were banned from the audience after she reported him for grabbing her bum.
She said: "“his married couple came up to me and the lady said ‘oh my husband really likes watching you, do you mind if we just…’ and he squeezed my a***.
“I didn’t know what to do with myself.
“I was a bit shocked and stood back and they didn’t get invited back to the audience.
“You get the odd a*** grabber.”
Rachel, who is expecting her second child with former 'Strictly Come Dancing' star husband Pasha Kovalev, 41, also revealed show bosses tried to control her wardrobe.
She told Channel 4 show 'Complaints Welcome': "I had to buy some new clothes at one stage.
“I just didn’t know what to wear and they were trying to dress me more like my mother at that stage, everything had to be below the knee.”
Meanwhile, Rachel previously revealed that 'Countdown' has been "very lively" since Anne Robinson joined the show.
The presenter admitted her new co-host is "not shy of asking funny questions" on the Channel 4 game show, and she wasted no time at all settling in.
She said: “It’s been really fun watching Anne very quickly find her feet and seeing the contestants in the new groove with her.
“She’s not shy of asking funny questions and responses ranged from comedy to not looking at her and hoping she doesn’t see them. It's been very lively."
Anne joined 'Countdown' as Nick Hewer’s replacement and made her debut on June 28, creating an all-female line-up alongside Rachel and Dictionary Corner's Susie Dent.
