A This Morning legend struggled with tricky riddles on Celebrity Catchphrase - but could you have worked them out?

But it was This Morning legend Richard, 69, who ultimately reached the final round. He had already accumulated an impressive £7,400 for charity Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust. The super catchphrase is split into five sections with each of them holding a certain amount of cash which increases upon each level. Joining host Stephen Mulhern, it was clear Richard had a shaky start to the final round. The first puzzle he faced depicted a group of eyeballs sat at desks and writing, while it panned to a sign reading "Exam". Richard's guesses included "eyes down" and "eyeballs" before deciding to pass. The next riddle showed Mr. Chips driving a van with a giant burger attached to the back. However, Richard was similarly flummoxed and passed on this one as well. After a slow start, the TV presenter found a rhythm and answered a few correctly.

Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. "But it doesn't really matter now, you've won £10,000." The elusive answers turned out to be "eye test" and "burger van", respectively. However, he is not the first star to face difficult puzzles on the ITV show. 4

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.

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!'

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.
