Emily - who recently announced her engagement - stormed through the rounds and made it to the Super Catchphrase finale.
However, 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, which the catchphrase showing a couple trying to check into a hotel, with a fully booked sign next to the front desk.
But the man then pulled a cord and they were able to go in, with Emily correctly guessing: "Pull some strings."
However, she only had five seconds left and was unable to start on the catchphrase that could have landed her charity £5,000.
Celebrity Catchphrase stumps Derry Girls legend with the final image - but could you have got it?
As the time ran out, host Stephen Mulhern put his hands to his face while Emily said again that it was "so hard" and put her hand to her forehead.
Stephen then revealed the answers to the three catchphrases she had missed.
The first catchphrase she passed on was 'cauliflower cheese', while the second was 'breaking bread' relating to when people meet each other.
The third one ended up being 'letter box', prompting Emily to say "Oh my God!" and put her hand to her mouth.
It wasn't all bad for Emily though, as Stephen added her £2,500 to the money she had won earlier in the show, meaning she was taking a total of £7,200 to her chosen charity.

ITV thriller won't return as second series 'isn't possible' despite rave reviews
A popular ITV crime drama won't be back with a second series, despite TV fans showering the series with praise Despite the first series receiving high praise from telly enthusiasts, ITV 's popular crime drama Joan won't be returning for a second series. The six-part series, which premiered on ITV in September 2024, featured Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner in the lead role as Joan Hannington. The programme recounted the true tale of jewel thief Joan, who nicked over £3 million worth of jewels in London during the 1980s and earned herself the moniker The Godmother in the capital's underworld. The plot summary reads: "Joan Hannington, a fiery and uncompromising woman in her 20s, is a devoted mother to her 6-year-old daughter, Kelly, but is trapped in a disastrous marriage with a violent criminal named Gary. When Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the opportunity to create a new life for herself and her daughter. "Adopting new identities and making new acquaintances along the way, Joan becomes a masterful jewel thief. She embarks on a thrilling, high-stakes journey that challenges her every limit, driven by her desire to create a secure home." Upon its release last year, Joan proved to be a massive hit with TV fans, with many leaving glowing reviews and lauding Sophie's performance, reports the Express. "I hope this production and all the actors and actresses inside, win some awards, they did such a good job. Even more impressive and touching when you remember that everything you're seeing really happened. It's very gripping," one person penned online. One viewer chimed in, stating: "The best programme I have seen in ages and the music was amazing and took me back to my early life which I loved. The actors especially Sophie were amazing and should all get awards for this." Despite the rave reviews, ITV has confirmed there won't be a second series of Joan due to the cast's hectic schedules. A spokesperson revealed to The Sun: "ITV and Snowed-In Productions would love to produce another series of Joan. However, as a consequence of cast availability, and following co-production discussions, a second series isn't possible." Sophie, who is a mum to two daughters with her former spouse Joe Jonas, is juggling numerous projects, making it understandable that she's finding it hard to squeeze in time to film a follow-up series of Joan. The starlet is lined up to play Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider TV series and she's also set to appear in sci-fi flick Cloud One and horror movie The Dreadful.

American living in the UK visits Poundland for the first time - but has one major criticism
An American who is living in the UK visited Poundland for the first time but he had one major criticism. Kobie Jordan, who is from the US but now living in London, took to his TikTok @kjordyyy to share a video of himself touring the popular British discount chain. However as he browsed the aisles, he was confused by the range of prices on items, despite the store's name suggesting a flat £1 cost. In the clip, which racked up 44,000 views, he said: 'It's automatically giving me Dollar General vibes. But the things aren't a pound, which is kind of crazy. I'm seeing £3.' UK-based social media users were quick to point out that while the store originally sold everything for £1, its pricing model has changed over the years due to inflation. One person said: 'When it first opened, everything was a pound. Then lockdown happened!' Another added: 'It used to literally be everything £1 now it's just a pointless shop full of stuff that's not £1.' But it wasn't just the pricing that raised questions. Kobie also had a cheeky take on the name itself, hinting that Poundland carries a very different, and much more risqué, connotation back in the US. 'They couldn't choose a different name besides Poundland? Poundland, really? UK... at least it's not called Pound Town,' he joked in the video. He even captioned the clip: 'Not a bad store... but the name is a bit sus.' Despite the eyebrow-raising branding, Kobie was surprisingly impressed by the store itself. He said: 'It's giving like a low key mini Walmart,' before adding, 'I'll be honest, most dollar stores back in the States are kind of like dirty, dingy... but there's something so clean and sterile about this one. Like, it's so pristine.' As he explored more of the shop, the American stumbled on a beloved British snack that he was eager to try. He added: 'Also, party rings. Never had them, but apparently all my British friends said they're a staple when you're growing up. Gotta try them one day. 'I'm genuinely shook with the variety of everything, cause it's not a big store from the outside, but they have a little bit of everything, which I kind of like. 'Imagine like a clean, sterile small Walmart mixed with Dollar General- that's what you have. Poundland. Many rushed to the comments to leave their own thoughts on his fair review of the discount chain 'I think I've explored every square inch of the store. I don't know what I was expecting from a Poundland, but it's pretty legit, innit? 'Living the dream, man. Living the dream in Poundland of all places.' Many rushed to the comments to leave their own thoughts on his review of the discount chain. One person said: 'My husband's American and wants a 'Poundland' T-shirt as he thinks the name is so funny.' Another suggested: 'Please try Greggs, Wetherspoons, Sports Direct and Primark.' Someone else added: 'Back in the day everything was a pound!!! There's 99p stores as well' A fourth added: 'Poundland needs to rename itself at this point. Bring back the days when everything was actually a pound'. It comes after Kobie revealed the British cultural habit of being 'over-polite' is sometimes confusing for visitors. The TikToker admitted he's still adapting to the famously apologetic and overly polite nature of British culture. In the clip, which racked up more than 45,000 views, he revealed one train journey in particular left him completely stumped. He said: 'As much as I love living in the UK, there's just one thing I have to talk about. 'Their over politeness almost to a fault. It's no secret they have a huge apologising culture. Always saying sorry, sorry all the time. But boy, do I have a story for y'all.' Kobie explained he was on a 'super packed train' from Birmingham to London when an older gentleman boarded the train and began eyeing the seat beside him, but wouldn't take it. He said: 'Every single seat was taken except for one. Right next to me, there's an older gentleman that just got on the train. 'He kept looking at me. Cause it's not my job to tell you to come sit if he wants to sit. He's a grown man, he can come sit. 'He would even look, look at me and look away. His wife had found a seat, but he was kind of looking at me like I was doing something wrong.' The American admitted he was tempted to offer the free seat to the man but he hesitated as he claimed the man could just grab the seat if he wanted it. He said: 'Part of me wanted me to offer my seat next to me to him, but I was like, wait a minute, it's an open seat, he can just come grab it if he wants to sit there. 'And me being from the US, it's hard for me to judge these type of situations here because, one, I don't know if he's actually just being too polite, maybe he's not too fond of me, or it just doesn't make sense.' He concluded: 'If y'all know me, y'all know I love the UK. And this is just my opinion and I Gotta see how it is. 'As much as I love it, that's one thing that I just can't really get my head around.' Many British commenters quickly weighed in, offering their own interpretations of what the elderly gentleman may have been thinking. One person said: 'I think he wanted you to give up your seat so him and his wife could sit together.' To which Kobie responded: 'Very true, why didn't he ask?' Another added: 'It polite to offer the seat… especially to pregnant or older people. He may not have wanted to have assumed he should squeeze past you.' Kobie added: 'Again that's so British. If you want to sit. Sit.' Someone else added: 'We're just polite to a fault. There's an unwritten rule about sitting next to people, although in PACKED situations usually doesn't apply. 'The 'look' would typically be inferred as a request to sit there and then the other party obliges.' A fourth added: 'I'm English. if he wanted the seat he would have either taken it or asked' Another added: 'As a old English lady who loves good manners, you acted in the correct manner. the choice was his to stand.'

Busty Megan Barton-Hanson shows off her oiled-up cleavage in very sexy mirror selfie
FORMER Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson has turned up the heat, showing off her oiled-up cleavage in a new selfie. The 31-year-old sizzled in a recent Instagram snap, which she shared with her 1.4million followers. 4 Megan cut a busty figure in the mirror selfie wearing a low plunging pink satin pyjama top and shorts. Posting on her Instagram story, she wrote: 'Glamming for customs, I've not worn proper makeup in a long time so feeling myself just a little.' The iconic Love Islander contestant appeared on the ITV dating show in 2018 and found love with Wes Nelson, who she eventually left the show with. The pair split up about five months after filming ended. Megan was then in talks with bosses to appear as a bombshell during All Stars season two but talks fell through after she got into a new relationship. But things turned sour for her earlier this year, with the star announcing she had ended her relationship after fearing for her life. She said she had been a victim of domestic abuse for a third time, accusing her unnamed partner of "coercive control and emotional abuse" and said she had been made to "feel worthless". Writing in an Instagram post, Megan told how she'd given her boyfriend thousands of pounds which she claims was spent on escorts and luxury hotels. She wrote: "I was shamed for my work and silenced for my success. "And like many others, I confused control for passion, and cruelty for love. I dropped charges I shouldn't have." The statement continued: "It finally ended when I feared for my life simply because I wanted to go paddleboarding with two lovely older women while he was working. "That moment shook me to my core. I'd gone all the way to Scotland to prove my loyalty — and still, I was the enemy in his eyes. I've made excuses in the past, blaming my own high standards or strong will, but this time, I won't. There's no excuse for violence. None." Megan said she hopes other women reading the post in similar situations can find the strength to leave their abusive partners. The media personality also offered to work with women's and domestic abuse charities to champion their work. Domestic abuse - how to get help DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship: Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten. Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent. If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers: The Freephone National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by Refuge on 0808 2000 247 for free at any time, day or night Men who are being abused can call Respect Men's Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or ManKind on 0182 3334 244 Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring Galop on 0800 999 5428 If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999 Remember, you are not alone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime. Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse. In December, during an interview with Paul C Brunson, Megan opened up about her harrowing past. She revealed she is a survivor of repeated cases of domestic abuse, including at the hands of an ex boyfriend who viciously assaulted her before threatening to kill her on the side of a motorway. The Essex beauty, who found fame in 2018, fell pregnant years before Love Island by an older lover after he removed his condom without her consent, also known as stealthing. Following a termination, on the journey home from the clinic, Megan, 30, says her partner suddenly 'switched' and became violently abusive. SCARED FOR HER LIFE Continuing her recollection, Megan revealed how her ex threatened to murder her before giving her 'ten seconds to run' to safety. She revealed: 'We're on a motorway, cars are speeding past at 70mph. "I thought, even if I try (to run) it's just going to anger him more because he's definitely going to catch me, so I just stood there frozen." The star then confessed she did her 'best acting' to persuade the man to 'calm down' before finally dropping her home. But later, the 'nightmare' continued when the boyfriend arrived at Megan's parents' home armed with a crowbar. He 'squared up' to her marine biologist dad Kevin then 'strangled' her mum Justine and, as the family fled in their car. He then hurled the crowbar through the rear window, with Megan on the back seat. She shared: 'I thought he'd literally kill me, the way he was. He was acting literally psychotic." Bravely, Megan later told the police of her ordeal and subsequently testified against her ex in a crown court trial where he was sentenced to a month and a half in prison. 4 4
