One instalment saw Stephen Mulhern welcome Emmerdale 's Mark Charnock, comedian Kerry Godliman and Loose Women 's Janet Street-Porter.
It was Mark, 56, who has played Marlon Dingle since 1996, who ultimately reached the final round.
Playing on behalf of The Stroke Association, he accumulated £6,500 in the earlier rounds.
The final catchphrase is split into five sections with each of them holding a certain amount of cash which increases upon each level.
Hoping to bag the top prize for his charity, the actor struggled with a few riddles along the way.
The first puzzle showed a couple sat in an aeroplane, with the flight attendants' heads replaced by wooden houses.
Mark took a guess with "log cabin" before ultimately deciding to pass on this riddle.
Later on, it was revealed the right answer was actually "cabin crew".
Up next were a trio of figures made out of bread, who were stood side-by-side in a bakery.
One, who had red hair and a matching moustache, had an arrow pointed at them.

"Gingerbread Man" was the solution that eluded the Emmerdale actor.
Another riddle showed Mr. Chips crying as images of wells appeared in his eyes.
This one was simply "he's welling up" - which Mark found out after the round ended.
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.
However, Mark managed to answer the following one correctly - winning £5,000 in the final round.
Speaking afterwards, the actor said: "Your brain goes flat!"
Stephen agreed, saying: "It's bizarre, it's the most bizarre thing. People just go to pieces sometimes."
Celebrity Catchphrase airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
