Luke had been flying through the catchphrases before he got stuck on this one

It showed Mr Chips working out next to an apple core
During the latest series of the show - hosted by Stephen Mulhern - impressionist and comedian Luke Kempner made it all the way to the Super Catchphrase.
After whizzing through the first couple of catchphrases, Luke took on the starred number 11, in the hope of doubling the money of his co-stars Charlie Hedges and Jeremy Vine.
He secured that relatively easily as well, but things unravelled when he got to the £25,000 catchphrase.
The scene revealed Mr Chips doing sit ups next to an apple core with muscular arms lifting weights.
Luke guessed 'working on his guns' before struggling to think of anything else.
He said pass and moved onto the only other option on that level, but he sadly ran out of time when he was unable to get that one right too.
It meant he left the show with a respectable £10,000 for his charity, as well as doubling Charlie and Jeremy's earnings from earlier in the show for their respective charities.
It was then Stephen's job to reveal what the missing catchphrases had been.
He explained that the gym scene was actually "core strength" as it was an apple core working out.
Did you get it right?
Watch the moment Stephen Mulhern is left red-faced as he makes HUGE blunder on Catchphrase puzzle
The final clip that he missed was "under study", which Luke was kicking himself about.
Earlier in the episode, Stephen was left red-faced after giving away an answer.
As the clip showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, Stephen declared: "Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!"
The contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said.
Stephen Mulhern's career so far
The presenter is a mainstay on various ITV shows, but how did he become one of Britain's most well-known faces?
Stephen first gained an interest in magic and tricks from his father who taught him as a kid.
After performing at Butlins, he became the youngest member of the Magic Circle and even made an appearance on Blue Peter in a piece about Harry Houdini.
His career started in Children's TV when he presenter the show Finger Tips in 2001.
After four years, he launched Tricky TV on CITV in 2005, which he presented until 2010.
During this time, he was handpicked by bosses to front the ITV2 spin-off for Britain's Got Talent.
He presented Britain's Got More Talent until the cancelation of the companion in 2019.
But it's not all bad news for Stephen who is known for his duties on a number of quiz shows.
In for a Penny, a format originally launched on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway was launched the same year.
Before, he was chosen by bosses to host Catchphrase in 2013 and has been fronting the show ever since.
Other huge shows he presented for ITV included Big Star's Little Star, Rolling In It and the reboot of Deal Or No Deal.
He also made regular appearances on This Morning in 'The Hub' segment between 2011 and 2014.
After the Philip Schofield scandal rocked ITV, he was chosen to reunite with his former CITV co-star Holly Willoughby as the host of Dancing on Ice.
Jeremy eventually broke the silence, pressing his buzzer and asking: "Sorry, what? Was that the answer?"
Stephen then embarrassingly nodded and burst into fits of laughter alongside the cast and studio audience.
"I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!" he admitted.

Revealing that she was due to head to Gatwick Airport after attending a podcast recording, Jane found herself stuck in traffic that prevented her from arriving on time. Appearing that karma was out to get her, she said to the camera: "Came to for an interview with Lewis Nicholls yesterday and, guess what guys, for the first time in my life it was not easy because I did not get there on time. "We got stuck in the most horrific traffic on the way to Gatwick, there was an accident and literally we came off the motorway to queue up for the Gatwick turn off and it took us probably an hour to get from there." Advertisement In a bitter blow, Jane was just ONE minute late to the check-in desk. And despite being Britain's most well-known check-in lady, her celebrity status and previous credentials did not help her as she was still denied the chance to board the plane after asking very nicely. Jane continued: "We missed the check-in by how long? One minute. And as nice as I was... but no, she wasn't having any of it. "So we missed our little flight with Eastern Airways and had to book on a train, so we should have arrived here at 10 yesterday morning and we got here at about four, three o'clock.

Agonising moment impressionist misses out on £25,000 Celebrity Catchphrase charity prize - but would you have guessed the answer?
This is the agonising moment an impressionist missed out on a huge £25,000 Celebrity Catchphrase charity prize - but would you have known it? During the latest series of the show - hosted by Stephen Mulhern - Luke Kempner made it all the way to the Super Catchphrase before falling at the last hurdle. After breezing through the first couple of catchphrases, Luke took on the starred number 11, in the hope of doubling the money of his co-stars Charlie Hedges and Jeremy Vine. He secured that relatively easily as well, but things took a turn for the worse when he got to the £25,000 catchphrase. The scene showed Mr Chips doing sit ups next to an apple core with muscular arms lifting weights. Luke hesitantly guessed 'working on his guns' before struggling to think of anything else. He said pass and moved onto the only other option on that level, but he ran out of time after also failing to get that one right. It meant he left the show with £10,000 for Little Lives UK - a charity that empowers disadvantaged children by providing free mental health support and donating devices for education. Luke also doubled Charlie and Jeremy's winnings from earlier in the show. Stephen then revealed what the missing catchphrases had been. He explained that the gym scene was actually 'core strength' as it was an apple core working out. Earlier in the episode, Stephen was left red-faced after he accidently gave away an answer.
