A CELEBRITY Catchphrase contestant narrowly missed out on winning the £50k jackpot – could you have got it right?
Hosted by , three famous faces in a bid to win large sums for .
Viewers watched as Stephen K. Amos tackled the show’s Super Catchphrase.
The comedian worked his way up a pyramid to play for the show’s top prize.
Stephen answered the first few with ease – but wasn’t quite as lucky on the £50k catchphrase.
It appeared to be someone who was running alongside a clock or watch.
Although Stephen’s guesses included “time travel”; and “running with time”;, he failed to find the correct answer.
Despite the setback, he still won £25,000 for his charity as well as helping increase the amount won by his competitors.
Host Stephen Mulhern said afterwards: “Well I tell you what, there’s a turn up for the books.
“Honestly, that was fantastic. That was amazing play.”;
To which Stephen K. Amos replied: “Thank you. I’m glad we could help my friends as well.”;
It was at this point that the elusive £50k answer was finally revealed.
Stephen Mulhern admitted: “I thought you were going to say it at one point. It’s running like clockwork.”;
He continued: “Think of that no longer, because you are taking away the £4,900 that you won earlier on.
“Now, that £25,000, taking your total prize money for your charity to £29,900.”;
Stephen K. Amos triumphed over Corrie legend and presenter in the earlier rounds.
His efforts in the Super Catchphrase meant he also doubled their winnings, so Beverley now received £3,800 for her charity.
Meanwhile, Kirsty’s doubled amount went up to £6,800 for her cause.
The episode originally aired in 2022 – although viewers have now seen the outcome play out again.
Earlier this year, it was revealed Celebrity Catchphrase for an 11th series – before series 10 even aired.
ITVcommissioner Gemma John-Lewis said: “We’re delighted to announce a further series of the much loved family favourite,
“The only show where you say what you see, the hugely popular series continues to win legions of fans and with Stephen’s infectious and playful humour it’s a firm favourite with our viewers.”;
Gary Chippington, Executive Producer and Creative Director of STV Studios Entertainment, added: “It’s testament to Catchphrase’s fantastic format and universal appeal that it’s still one of the UK’s most-loved entertainment shows, four decades after ITV first commissioned it.
