Watch the moment star misses out on £25k prize on Celebrity Catchphrase – but could you solve the riddle in time?

WEST End actress Samantha Barks missed out on a huge £25,000 prize when she failed to correctly identify a riddle on Celebrity Catchphrase in time.

The star, who recently won ITV‘s , managed to make it all the way to the final of the episode and take on the super Catchphrase.

She was playing for her charity and was given 60 seconds to get as many of the puzzles correct as she could.

The final catchphrase is split into five sections with each of them holding a certain amount of cash which increases upon each level.

Having made her way to the fourth stage, had managed to bag herself £10,000 already and with less than 20 seconds on the clock, she was hoping to claw £25,000 by answering another puzzle.

But for Samantha it proved tricky as she was left scrambling to come up with an answer.

In the puzzle that stumped her, three characters could be seen with their backs against a brick wall and a shadow of their silhouette being clearly visible on the wall.

But for the third character, he could be seen moving his own shadow around on a fishing rod.

Samantha was expected to use this as a clue to get to her final answer.

Staring at the puzzle, a perplexed Samantha shouted: “Fishing shadow!

“Shadow fishing, shadow catching, shadow line?

“Throwing your shadow?”;

Although there was only two seconds left on the clock, Samantha opted to pass but ultimately she missed out on getting the £25k she was able to play for.

With the round having drawn to a close, Stephen then went on to reveal the correct answer to the puzzle.

He told Samantha: “I thought you were gonna get this one – it’s casting a shadow!”;

Samantha then let out a wail as she remarked: “Oh that’s a good one!”;
