ROMAN Kemp was left gutted after missing out on the Celebrity Catchphrase jackpot – but could you crack the riddles?
The iconic ITV game show encourages contestants to “say what they see” – but this isn’t always obvious.
Stephen Mulhern welcomed Roman, Richard Blackwood and Julia Bradbury to the studio.
Having seen off the competition, The One Show star Roman advanced to the Super Catchphrase round.
Roman soon stumbled on a few successive puzzles – having to “pass” on them.
The first appeared to show a woman crushing an apple in her hand.
Next was a knight wearing armour, turning over a sword with “Edge One” and “Edge Two” inscribed on either side.
After that came a marching band – but with two soldiers’ faces and bodies replaced by large feet.
While Roman didn’t make it up the pyramid, he managed to win £2,500.
Combined with £5,300 he bagged earlier in the show, his charity received an impressive £7,800.
The elusive answers were “Apple Crumble”, “Double-Edged Sword” and “Foot Soldiers”.
It’s not the first time Celebrity Catchphrase left a famous face absolutely stumped.
Comedian Joe Lycett was baffled by a “way too hard” riddle in the ITV show.
The clue showed a map of three countries Italy , America and France , all walking on a road with grumpy faces.
Despite throwing out a few wild guesses, Joe ran out of time on this bizarre catchphrase.
When host Stephen revealed the right answer, Joe groaned: “I would have never of got that.”
The answer was “cross country running”.
His numerous unsuccessful attempts ranged from “angry countries” to “angry countries running.”
Altogether, Joe managed to walk away with £32,000 for his chosen charity.
Celebrity Catchphrase airs on ITV1 and ITVX .
