The presenter caused a stir on Twitter after shouting at the This Morning regular during the numbers round of the Channel 4 favourite.
When the 45-year-old tried to show a contestant an easier way of working something out, Rachel snapped and refused to let him finish his sentence.
“I’ll let Martin do the final calculation,” the 31-year-old beauty had originally asked, while wowing in a saucy lilac ensemble.
“Well you get the answer…” a confused Martin started. “It’s a very complicated way to do it.”

Rachel corrected him, saying it was a “very impressive way” to get to the target number but things soon turned a little fraught.
“There was an easier way. If you did the 66 times…” Martin went on, however he was quickly stopped in his tracks.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star shouted: “No! We’re not having that! We’re saluting Noel for his marvellous maths.”
