All Saints' Mel Blatt stumped by two £5k riddles on Celebrity Catchphrase - but can YOU solve them?
All Saints ' Mel Blatt was left stumped by two riddles on Celebrity Catchphrase - but can you solve them? A previous episode of the ITV programme, hosted by Stephen Mulhern, saw the singer feature alongside Seann Walsh and Michelle Visage. She managed to work her way through the game show all the way to the last round. However, when Mel was tasked with out some more riddles, two that were worth £5,000 each proved to be too tricky. She managed to bag £2,500 on one question, but the next one, which showed a building on top of someone's shoulders tripped Mel up. 'Head, building, head in the clouds, building, building head, building... Pass,' the performer fumbled. The next catchphrase video quickly played and showed three people, two dressed in suits with the words 'Mon' and 'Wed' for heads, and another looking more casual and with 'Fri' on his head. Mel continued to vocalise different guesses but eventually shouted, 'Pass!' She managed to answer the next riddle correctly, which was the King And I, and bagged £5,000 in total at the end of the round. Stephen then revealed the first £5,000 question's answer was 'head office' and the second was 'dress down Friday'. Mel won a total of £9,400 for charity. It comes after Celebrity Catchphrase host Stephen Mulhern was left red-faced when he made the ultimate slip-up on a previous episode of the show. The host showed a clip of the latest guess the catchphrase question which featured a coffee shop with rapidly increasing prices. As guests Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner watched on as the prices continued to increase through the coffee shop roof, the host failed to give them the opportunity to answer. Stephen (pictured) then revealed the first £5,000 question's answer was 'head office' and the second was 'dress down Friday' Stephen said: 'Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!' A hilariously awkward silence then fell over the studio when Stephen realised what he had done. Then Jeremy, 60, jokingly pressed his buzzer and said: 'Sorry, what? Was that the answer?' Stephen, who was clearly in disbelief at his mistake, proceeded to nod before the studio, celebs and audience burst into laughter. He admitted: 'I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!'

Seann Walsh reveals his phone was stolen 'straight from his hand' in London just days after a Strictly star was mugged
Seann Walsh revealed his phone was stolen 'straight from his hand' in London just days after a Strictly star was mugged. The comedian, 39, said that a thief nabbed the device 'a week or so ago' and it was now in China, according to Find My iPhone. Professional dancer Michelle Tsiakkas, 29, was also robbed in broad daylight in London this week, leaving her 'scared and helpless'. Following his ordeal, Seann shared a screenshot of his phone's whereabouts to his Instagram Story on Sunday and wrote: 'My phone was stolen (yes, out of my hand and yes, I live in London) a week or so ago and it is now in China if anyone happens to be passing by.' A fan replied to Seann and asked him to write a book about the things that have happened in his life. They added: 'I am very sorry about your phone but please, please write a book of all things that happen to you. "It could only happen to me."' Seann added: 'If there are any publishers following me, I am open to this but it will be a very long book. I'm calling it Typical.' Phone thefts in London have hit a record high with a shocking 37 people having their mobile stolen every day in the capital's West End alone. New data has revealed that almost 231,000 phone thefts and robberies were recorded over the past four years in the capital, a threefold increase. The epicentre for these brazen crimes is in the world's theatre capital, the West End, a magnet for tourists where around 40,000 phones were reported stolen over the same period, data by the Metropolitan Police shows. Elsewhere, Strictly dancer Michelle was on her way to the dentist early in the morning when her phone was snatched. In an emotional post on Instagram, the ballroom star recounted the 'traumatising' incident to fans whilst urging them to stay vigilant. Michelle said in a video message: 'This was a couple of days ago and I've just about mentally recovered from that. It was quite traumatising on the day. 'It wasted my whole day and made me feel awful, scared, helpless and I don't want the same to happen to you.' She explained: 'My phone got stolen. My phone got stolen. I mean I see it happening all the time but it's just one of those things that you just never think it's gonna happen to you. and then it does.' Michelle, who joined Strictly three years ago, said a man on a bike swiped her mobile while she was in Convent Garden. 'So it was early morning. I was on my way to the dentist in London. It was around Covent Garden so the streets were really quiet. 'I think I was just the only person around so maybe I was an easy target and I whipped out my phone to have a look at the directions to see where my dentist was. 'I was on the actual street of the dentist and what happens? A man comes on a bike behind me, sweeps past me and grabs my phone. 'So he's grabbed my phone. He's on an electric bike and my heart just sank. I tried to I think like reach for it and that made me fall on my knees on the floor and graze my knee. 'I think my reflex was just to swear and then scream give me back my phone and clearly you know that didn't work. 'He just left. He was wearing a mask so there was no way that I could have seen what he looked like and he was going really fast on that electric bike so there was no way on earth I could have caught up with him. 'Thankfully there were two really lovely and helpful women there and they'd seen that I was a bit distressed.'

All Saints' Mel Blatt struggles with TWO £5k riddles on Celebrity Catchphrase – but could you have got them right?
ALL Saints singer Mel Blatt was left struggling with TWO riddles back-to-back on Celebrity Catchphrase. The performer had managed to make it all the way to the final round on the ITV programme, hosted by Stephen Mulhern. 5 5 Having advanced past her fellow celebs, Michelle Visage and Seann Walsh, Mel was ready to take on the final super Catchphrase board. But things got rather difficult for Mel as she was left stumped on two £5,000 riddles back-to-back. Having banked £2,500 on one riddle, Mel tried to play for double the money but was forced to pass on two questions. As Stephen presented the first video catchphrase to her, Mel was left looking perplexed. In the video, an office-like tower building could be seen perched on someone's shoulders in place of what would be their head. As the graphic flashed up, Mel could be heard speculating to herself: "Head, building, head in the clouds, building... "Building head, build... Pass!" As part of the quick-fire round, Mel was swiftly moved onto the next graphic but she was left struggling with that one too. It showcased an office scenario in which three people could be seen. Two of the men were wearing suits and featured "Mon" and "Wed" above their heads to represent the days of the week. The third man could be seen in more casual clothing but had "Fri" written above his head. Clearly confused, Mel stuttered: "Days of the week, Fri, Fri-yay, Friday, Friday... no, pass!" Mel was then forced to take a third £5k riddle but managed to correctly identify it as The King and I in seconds. But would you have been able to work out the ones that caught Mel out. As the round drew to a close, Stephen went back to the ones she passed on to confirm the answers. The first riddle, depicting an office building on someone's shoulders, was revealed to be "head office". Whilst Mel kicked herself for not getting that one correct, she admitted she would never have known the other riddle she passed on which turned out to be "dress down Friday". In the end, it meant that Mel was walking away with £5,000 for her chosen charity plus the £4,400 she collected in the earlier rounds thus meaning a total of £9,400 for her charity. 5 5 Away from TV, it was recently revealed that Mel had found a new career flipping burgers. The Pure Shores songstress admitted "it's nice to do something for me" as she opened up on her new job in a pub kitchen, whipping up her brand Full Fillings' tasty treats. The menu has previously included a slow cooked beef patty or jerk chicken option, served up with chunky chips and gravy. A macaroni cheese burger is also a mouth watering option for veggies. Earlier this year, Mel took to her Instagram page to launch her new venture at the pub - as well as her new business brand.
