BBC star left flummoxed by tricky Celebrity Catchphrase puzzle – but could you solve it?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BBC Sport presenter Mark Chapman was left scratching his head on Celebrity Catchphrase after struggling to guess a well-known saying in the final round. Viewers were shouting at their telly screens as the well-known face stumbled over a baffling brainteaser in the final round. 2 BBC favourite Mark Chapman was left stumped by a baffling Celebrity Catchphrase puzzle Credit: ITV 2 Host Stephen Mulhern encouraged him to keep guessing - but Mark just couldn't see it Credit: ITV Mark appeared on the ITV gameshow hosted by Stephen Mulhern in a bid to raise money for charity. After making it through to the final round, Mark had his skills put to one final test, going against the clock to answer questions on the catchphrase pyramid. The 51-year-old, best known for hosting Match of the Day 2 and BBC Radio 5 Live, was left stumbling over his words as the clock ticked down. But would you have any luck? In the clue, Mr Chips was filling up his white van with petrol. The gauge went from E for empty to full, which had an icon of a brown cowboy hat. Mark made several unsuccessful guesses from 'full gallon' to 'filling the tank' to 'one gallon hat'. Do you get it? The answer was: It's full to the brim. Mark was unfortunately unable to figure it out in the timeframe, though he didn't go home empty-handed, earning an incredible £14,000 for his chosen charity. Watch as Celebrity Catchphrase star flounders over tricky puzzle and misses out on big money Mark and Kelly Cates were announced as Gary Lineker's Match of the Day replacements in January, with Gabby Logan making up the new-look trio. Lineker's BBC exit has sparked a battle between his three successors over who will lead the World Cup coverage, SunSport exclusively revealed. Insiders said that the three also be competing to take the main presenting job for next year's FA Cup Final. Top 10 earners at the BBC MOTD Star Gary Lineker retained his place as top earner for another year Gary Lineker - £1.35million Zoe Ball - £515,000 - cut from £950,000 Alan Shearer - £440,000 - up from £380,000 Greg James - £425,000 - up from £415,000 Fiona Bruce - £410,000 - up from £405,000 AND Nick Robinson - £410,000 - up from £345,000 Stephen Nolan - £405,000 Laura Kuenssberg - £395,000 - up from £325,000 Vernon Kay - £390,000 - up from £320,000 Justin Webb - £365,000 - up from £320,000 Naga Munchetty - £355,000 - up from £345,000 Lineker earned a staggering FOUR TIMES more than his Match of the Day successor Mark Chapman last season. The BBC have published their annual salaries list, with Lineker, 64, far and away their top earner in 2023-24. The former England striker spent 26 years as MOTD host and saw his pay reach a whopping £1.35 million per year. Mark pocketed a cool £325,000 last year for his work with the BBC, which included 120 episodes of Radio 5 Live, the Olympics, Euro 2024 and, of course, Match of the Day 2. Despite his array of stellar work, 'Chappers' earned more than £1m LESS than his MOTD predecessor, Lineker - who officially quit the BBC in June - last year alone.

Ozzy Osbourne halted daughter Kelly's wedding proposal with sweary seven-word complaint
Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease, just weeks after he performed on stage for the final time Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76, his family announced in a devastating statement. The brief but emotional message shared that his loved ones, including his wife of more than 40 years, Sharon Osbourne, were by his side during his final moments on Tuesday morning. Sharon is said to be "simply heartbroken" over losing her "best friend". The sad news comes just weeks after Ozzy gave what would be his final live performance during the Back to the Beginning show at Villa Park, the home stadium of Aston Villa. On the same night, his daughter Kelly Osbourne got engaged - and Ozzy had a hilarious reaction. Ozzy Osbourne's final wish fulfilled by Sharon in heartbreaking move before death Ozzy Osbourne's heart monitored '15 times a day' before final Back To The Beginning show Kelly's partner, Sid Wilson, dropped to one knee to propose in front of her famous parents backstage following the band's final performance on Saturday, July 5. After the goodbye performance, Ozzy's daughter Kelly, 40, received an enormous shock when her partner, with whom she shares a son called Sidney, asked the all-important question. Kelly turned to Instagram on Sunday (July 6) to reflect on the momentous evening. Posting a collection of snaps from the gig with her 2.8m followers, Kelly penned: "To say that yesterday was magic was an understatement! "I can't even wright this without tears streaming down my face! Thank you to everyone who came to support my dad. Thank you to the fans who without we are nothing! "My dad got his moment in the sun! He was able to say thank you and good bye in the most beautiful way! #ozzyForever #blacksabbath #backtothebiginning." An hour afterwards, she then revealed her engagement announcement, posting: "Oh and this happened yesterday!," accompanied by a clip of the romantic moment. Before the proposal, Sharon could be heard saying: "We've got to be quiet, hold on," as she hushed those backstage. Sid then declared: "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world." However, the heartfelt proposal was quickly disrupted by Ozzy, who quipped: "F**k off. You're not marrying my daughter." Chuckling, Sid pressed on: "Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?". A stunned Kelly then spun round to face the camera before nodding 'yes'. The newly-engaged pair then embraced in a lengthy hug and kiss whilst their nearest and dearest applauded. Following Kelly's confirmation of her relationship with Sid in 2022, an insider close to the celebrity told The Mirror: "Kelly and Sid met when his band was touring with Ozzfest [the music festival created by Kelly's parents Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne] in 1999. "They have remained friends since. They are very happy together."

Frankie Bridge fans 'obsessed' with £52 jacket 'perfect' for unpredictable weather
The Loose Women panellist shared a round-up of her favourite high street finds this week, including pieces from ASOS, PrettyLittleThing and River Island Frankie Bridge has once again had fashion fans begging to know where to shop her latest outfits. And this time, it's a 'perfect for summer' jacket that will keep shoppers looking chic while protecting them from the unpredictable Great British weather. As part of her weekly Faves series. The Loose Women panellist shared a round up of her favourite high-street finds this week, including pieces from ASOS, PrettyLittleThing and more. But there was one item in particular that her followers couldn't stop complimenting, and were desperate to know where to buy it for themselves. Commenting on the post, which racked up more than 260,000 views, fans wrote: 'Where the brown jacket from please?,' 'Where is your jacket from hun?' and 'obsessed with the brown jacket.' Said brown jacket is from none other than one of Frankie's go-to retailers, River Island. The 36-year-old donned the high-street haunt's Brown Faux Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket, hailing it as 'lightweight' and great for layering. Styling the jacket with some blue wide leg jeans and a graphic vest top, she said: 'This jacket is perfect for over summer as it's lightweight and is perfect to throw on if the weather changes.' Coming in at £52, the faux leather jacket is a fresh take on jackets we've seen go viral in previous years, such as Molly Mae's famous Zara biker jacket. It features long sleeves and an on-trend funnel neck, complete with front pockets and a zip and popper fastening. Originally available in sizes XS to XL, the smallest size appears to have already sold out, proving its popularity. It'll no doubt be the ultimate transitional piece to see wearers into the autumn months, the one downside is that, while it'll protect the body from any potential showers, it's slightly cropped length and lack of a hood will do little to protect wearers from the elements. The River Island number comes in slightly cheaper than ASOS's take on the silhouette. The ASOS DESIGN funnel neck textured leather look bomber jacket in brown costs £58, and while it looks pretty similar, it's available in only four sizes. For a more traditional biker look, the Brown Distressed Look Zip Boxy Trim Detail Biker Jacket from PrettyLittleThing is currently on sale. Originally £60, it's down to £36, coming in a lived-in, distressed brown shade and elevated boxy cut. Frankie's jacket and jeans combo isn't the only outfit that had shoppers swooning this month, either. On Loose Women last week, she sported Mango's Striped Straight Suit Trousers (£45.99) and the matching Buttons Striped Top (£35.99). Sharing a snap on Instagram, fans immediately went wild for it. 'So many sensational outfits, my style icon' wrote one, whilst another said: 'Absolutely love this outfit!' The pinstripe co-ord is the perfect choice for summer, and shoppers can wear it absolutely anywhere from a summer wedding to the office. A simple accessory swap will take it from day to night, and its fitted, tailored silhouette gives it an instantly sophisticated, smart look. But if it's Frankie's River Island jacket people have their eye on for summer layering, the chic item can be purchased here for £52.
