The magazine show presenter ended up reaching the final pyramid round to win money for both her own choice and more for the other competitors' charities.
However, she was left "frustrated" when she struggled to answer a number of questions in the sixty second time limit.
One of the clips showed the show's Mr Chips character running through a word-shaped cloud that read 'breath'.
As he reached the end of the word, the animated character was seen to be panting heavily.

Naga exclaimed: "Taking a breather! Taking a breath! Running through breath. Breathless."

However, she did not win money for the other charities nor reach the top of the pyramid as Naga missed out on the whopping £50,000 jackpot.
As the time ran out, Stephen turned to the competitor for her reaction as he remarked: "You look frustrated."
Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast?
The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:
Charlie Stayt - Since 2006
Carol Kirkwood - Since 1997
To which Naga furiously replied: "I'm so frustrated. But look, £10,000 for a charity is so important. But I'm so frustrated."
As the presenter reminded Naga that she had to pass on the number 11, she added: "I'm so upset about that. Because I really wanted to double Joanna and Mo's money."

When the presenter revealed that the answer was of course 'out of breath' she said: "Oh I said breathless but I didn't say out of breath!"
In the round she also struggled to answer another riddle which represented the following phrase; 'hit the road.'
I'm so frustrated. But look, £10,000 for a charity is so important. But I'm so frustrated
