Nadine Coyle narrowly misses out on bagging £50k jackpot on Celebrity Catchphrase for late Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding's charity - but would you have got the answer?
Nadine Coyle narrowly missed out on an eye-watering £50,000 on Celebrity Catchphrase, but would you have managed to get it? The Girls Aloud singer, 40, appeared on the latest episode of the star-studded ITV game show. She joined Stephen Mulhern and went up against presenter Rick Edwards and EastEnders actor Jake Wood. Nadine was on course to scoop the jackpot prize as she sailed through the rounds, making it all the way to the Super Catchphrase. Viewers watched as the Northern Irish singer even doubled the money Rick and Jake had amassed during the game by successfully getting the number 11 catchphrase. However, her luck appeared to be running out as she stumbled on the final catchphrase behind number 15. Host Stephen, 48, showed her a line of cars on a stretch of road that was running on an athletics track before Mr Chips took over. Nadine then watched as the character crossed the line and won while an arrow pointed at him. She tried her best to guess what the phrase was, offering multiple answers but unfortunately ran out of him. While she didn't scoop the jackpot, she still left the studio with a respectable £30,000 for The Sara Harding Breast Cancer Appeal with the Christie Charity. Did you guess the correct answer? Stephen told Nadine how Mr Chips was 'beating the traffic' while congratulating her on walking away with five figures. Sarah tragically died from breast cancer at just 39 years old in 2021. Nadine previously spoke about losing her band made, saying she 'lives life to the fullest' and tries to have as much fun as she can. She told The Mirror: 'I just try to enjoy it, because Sarah really enjoyed life. She made the most of so many things. That's really important. 'You can worry about so much stuff that just becomes irrelevant. Hold the people close that you love and spend time having fun, as much as you can.' Sarah found fame in 2002 when she won a place on Popstars: The Rivals with the band and took the UK by storm soon after. She 'slipped away peacefully' in September 2021 after 'fighting so strongly from her diagnosis until her last day', her mum Marie wrote on Instagram at the time.

ITV Emmerdale fans call for 'tedious' storyline to end
Those who watch the ITV soap have been discussing the plot surrounding Joe Tate and the recently returned Dr Crowley. The pair has a previous history together as part of Joe's previous kidney transplant story. Now, the doctor, played by James Hillier, has returned to seek revenge. A post shared by Emmerdale (@emmerdale) James Hillier's character last appeared on the ITV soap back in March. Joe was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and hired the shady doctor to treat him and secure him a kidney transplant. After Joe's paternal half-uncle, Caleb Miligan, was found to be a donor match, his kidney was taken after he was stabbed. Following this, Dr Crowley transplanted it into Joe before fleeing the country, and that was the last heard from him... until now. Having returned to the soap this week, Joe was knocked unconscious and woke up in a makeshift hospital room to find Crowley. He revealed that he gave Joe an epidural and "numbed the lower spine, along with the upper, near the base of the skull", meaning Joe was left paralysed. It was revealed that Shaun, who arrived with Joe's laptop, had been secretly working for Crowley. Despite originally refusing, following the threat of torture, Joe reveals the passwords and Shaun transfers £105,000 to Crowley's account. Following Dr Crowley's return on the ITV show, fans have been discussing the ongoing storyline, and some are not impressed. It's that time again… the Inside Soap Awards 2025 are here - and the Village needs you! 💚 If you've loved the drama, cast your votes and show Emmerdale your support! 👉 Vote here: A post was made on the r/Emmerdale Reddit page, saying: "Ok Emmerdale, it's time to wrap up this Joe Tate Dr storyline, it's getting very boring...." Some fans on the thread agreed, with one saying: "Joe and the stories around him are so badly written and acted. So..... well, mind-numbingly tedious to sit through." Another said: "Yeah and I agree with you." Others have taken to social media to also criticise the story, with one fan saying: "I love Emmerdale I do but this is a bit extreme this storyline." Recommended reading: Others, however, are enjoying it, with one saying: "I'm loving seeing the Dr make Joe's life hell." A second said: "There is a part of me that loves this story because it's so wonderfully soapy." Emmerdale is available to watch live and on demand via ITV and ITVX.
