Will ran out of time on this puzzle which showed a woman answering a call
Will Mellor is known for his roles as Jambo Bolton in Hollyoaks, Warren Stamp in EastEnders, and Harvey Gaskell in Coronation Street,
The star, managed to make it all the way to the final of the episode and take on the super Catchphrase with host Stephen Mulhern.
He was playing for his charity, When You Wish Upon A Star, and was given 60 seconds to get as many of the puzzles correct as he could.
The final catchphrase is split into five sections with each of them holding a certain amount of cash which increases upon each level.
Will was nervous because he really wanted to do well in the quiz so that his charity could grant more wishes to children.
But he was stumped on some as he made his way up the pyramid.
In one of the puzzles, there was a group of figures on one side of the screen with the word 'way' above them as a solitary figure stood on the other side also displaying the word 'way'.
Will had a try but couldn't get it and when Stephen revealed that the answer was one way street - Will exclaimed " I see it now!"
In another puzzle there was a picture of a group of balls with an arrow pointing at one larger than the rest.
Will groaned when he was told the answer was - he's a big shot.

And in a puzzle that he ran out of time on - there was a video of a woman answering her phone opposite an image of London.
The answer was of course London Calling.
Stephen said: "Listen Will, forget about it because you have won £6700 that you banked earlier on.
"Now that £1000 you just won, so for your charity you are taking away a mighty £16700."
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.

The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.

The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
Wil replied: " Thank you, that's amazing."
