He dropped to his knees after the clock ran down but he still bagged a small fortune for charity
Stephen Mulhern welcomed Chris Ramsey, Heather Small and Kelvin Fletcher to play Celebrity Catchphrase.
And it was Geordie comedian Chris, 38, who advanced to the final round.
He made fast work of the pyramid - and found himself facing the £50,000 jackpot puzzle with over 20 seconds on the clock.
The riddle showed a group of seven '1's' standing on a stage, all holding trophies or wearing a first place ribbon.
Chris guessed: "First place... first cup... first prize... first stage", but to no avail.
His time ultimately ran out missing the jackpot - but he still bagged an impressive £25,000 for his charity.
Asked by Stephen how he felt, Chris replied: "Great, but very annoyed that I'm playing for a theatre and the last one looked like it had something to do with theatre.
"I'm absolutely fuming, what was it?"
Stephen then revealed the elusive answer was actually "Everyone's a winner."
Combined with the £6,400 Chris won in the earlier rounds, his charity The Customs House, which provides community arts and entertainment events on South Tyneside, landed an incredible £31,400.
Emily Atack left stumped by three tricky Celebrity Catchphrase riddles in nightmare finale
It's not the first time Catchphrase's tricky puzzles have stumped famous faces.
Emily Atack was left flummoxed by three difficult riddles in a nightmare finale.
The Rivals actress competed alongside Brenda Edwards and Martin Kemp.
In the final round, the wheels quickly fell off for the actress as she struggled to get an answer to secure £2,500.
The first catchphrase saw a man chop into a cauliflower in his kitchen, revealing cheese inside.
After a couple of unsuccessful guesses, Emily moved on to another, which featured two men shaking hands over a loaf of bread.
They then smashed it with mallets, but Emily didn't have a clue and cried: "What? These are hard!"
She then moaned "Oh no!" before deciding to move on to another, but the situation did not improve.
As the clock ticked down, she was shown a box on a street which opened to show letters inside.
She passed, and went for a fourth go at securing £2,500, with the catchphrase showing a couple trying to check into a hotel, with a fully booked sign next to the front desk.
Ultimately, she won £2,500 and added to the money she had won earlier in the show, took a total of £7,200 to her chosen charity.
Celebrity Catchphrase airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
