One of whom was BBC Breakfast anchor Naga Munchetty, 50, who had previously appeared in an edition on ITVX.
Although she's best known for her role on the morning show, she also presents a show three times a week on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Naga was named the fourth highest-paid woman at the beeb, and despite her high-profile role, she competed on the ITV gameshow.
She played against the likes of Mo Gilligan and Joanna Page on Celebrity Catchphrase to raise money for charity.
The magazine show presenter ended up reaching the final pyramid round to win money for both her own choice and more for the other competitors' charities.
However, she was left "frustrated" when she struggled to answer a number of questions in the sixty second time limit.
One of the clips showed the show's Mr Chips character running through a word-shaped cloud that read 'breath'.
As he reached the end of the word, the animated character was seen to be panting heavily.
Naga exclaimed: "Taking a breather! Taking a breath! Running through breath. Breathless."
She added: "Breathe easy, erm... pass," to no avail as she was forced to move onto the next image riddle.

After wasting 18 seconds on the question, she had to move onto a different clip on the pyramid.
In the end, she did get the second challenge on the level correct as she won £10,000.
However, she did not win money for the other charities nor reach the top of the pyramid as Naga missed out on the whopping £50,000 jackpot.
As the time ran out, Stephen turned to the competitor for her reaction as he remarked: "You look frustrated."
Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast?
The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:
Jon Kay - Since 2022
Sally Nugent - Since 2021
Charlie Stayt - Since 2006
Naga Munchetty - Since 2014
Carol Kirkwood - Since 1997
To which Naga furiously replied: "I'm so frustrated. But look, £10,000 for a charity is so important. But I'm so frustrated."
As the presenter reminded Naga that she had to pass on the number 11, she added: "I'm so upset about that. Because I really wanted to double Joanna and Mo's money."
When the presenter revealed that the answer was of course 'out of breath' she said: "Oh I said breathless but I didn't say out of breath!"
In the round she also struggled to answer another riddle which represented the following phrase; 'hit the road.'
I'm so frustrated. But look, £10,000 for a charity is so important. But I'm so frustrated

At the end of the game she seemed completely aghast as she admitted: "I said 'hit the ground running', didn't I?"

Jack P. Shepherd marries Hanni Treweek in 'no expense spared' Manchester wedding
Coronation Street favourite Jack P. Shepherd is officially a married man after tying the knot with fiancée Hanni Treweek in a lavish ceremony today. The David Platt actor, who has starred in the ITV soap since 2000, has been dating Hanni since 2017, having met the scriptwriter while she worked on Corrie. On June 5 last year, while on safari, he popped the question, and it's been all systems go for wedding prep ever since, with the lovebirds keeping their fans updated on dress fittings, cake tastings, and pre-parties galore while counting down the days. And this weekend, it all came to a head, as soap co-stars packed out Manchester Cathedral to celebrate their nuptials. Jack, 37, arrived at the venue with his mum and young son, Reuben, whom he shares with ex Lauren Shippey. Looking dapper in a cream tux, Jack added a stylish edge with a pair of shades. Pulling up in the coolest possible way, he sat backseat in a red Mustang car, beaming with excitement. Meanwhile, bride Hanni, 35, was seen arriving at the iconic Gothic venue with her flock of bridesmaids, who aided in carrying her extravagant train. She opted for an elegant lace gown, complete with intricate floral detailing and long sleeves. With a veil over her face, she wore natural yet glowing makeup, styled her raven locks in loose waves, and clutched a bouquet. In attendance were a whole host of familiar faces, including Craig Tinker actor Colson Smith and Ben Price, who plays Nick Tilsley. The close pals, who also co-host a podcast with Jack, arrived smiling from ear to ear, wearing matching suits and with flowers on their lapels to complement Hanni's arrangement. Other guests included Bethany Platt actress Lucy Fallon, who donned a very on-trend pastel yellow frock, while Sarah Platt's Tina O'Brien and Shona's Julia Goulding went for floor-length, ruffled ensembles. There was also Mikey North, who plays Gary Windass, Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster, Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, and Alan Halsall, aka Tyrone Dobbs. They wer joined by Chris Hughes, who made it to the final of Celebrity Big Brother with Jack earlier this year. Flying solo, he was without girlfriend JoJo Siwa by his side, having just jetted back from the States. Completing the starry crowd were Maria Connor star Samia Longchambon, who was accompanied by her pro skater husband Sylvain, and Gail Platt legend Helen Worth, who recently bowed out of the soap after 50 years on screens. After Jack and Hanni exchanged vows, they emerged from the church to a shower of confetti, sharing a smooch in front of their nearest and dearest. Neither bride nor groom could've looked happier as their loved ones cheered and snapped photos. Ahead of their wedding, it was said that 'no expense' had been spared to ensure Jack and Hanni had a day to remember. A source told The Sun: 'Jack and Hanni are having their big white wedding at Manchester Cathedral on Saturday. They have gone all out to make sure it's their dream day, and there has been no expense spared. 'It's a very grand setting getting wed at the cathedral, and it will be packed with guests, including many of Jack's Corrie co-stars. 'They have hired top Manchester security service Capricorn to make sure everything goes smoothly on the day, and after the ceremony, everyone will head to the five-star Lowry hotel for a lavish after-party. 'Drake is even staying there at the moment, so who knows, he may well end up crashing the bash.' Jack also previously confessed that he took part in CBB to help pay for his luxury wedding, not expecting to emerge as the winner of the show. More Trending Then, a month before saying 'I do,' Hanni posted on Instagram: 'Seven incredible years of memories with you. 'Here's to four weeks of feeling excited, nervous, overwhelmed, emotional, in love and everything else that comes with being a bride. 'I can't wait to marry you.' View More » Keen to make it the wedding of the year, Jack commented: 'It's going to be epic.'

Strictly's Anton Du Beke opens up about wife Hannah's ‘cruel and inexplicable' diagnosis in heartbreaking comments
STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has opened up about his wife Hannah Summers' deeply harrowing experience with endometriosis and the effect it had on their journey to parenthood. The 59-year-old, who recently joined Celebrity Gogglebox, got married to marketing executive Hannah in 2017 and the pair welcomed their twins George and Henrietta through IVF. 4 4 4 Now Anton has revealed that his spouse had big reservations about her ability to start a family as a result of her condition. While appearing on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, the BBC One star expressed: 'I knew I wanted to be with her, I saw her with her nephews. She's so kind and so caring, I just couldn't understand the universe. 'And whoever is upstairs, if anyone's upstairs, looking down and going 'you are the most perfect person to have children, but I'm not going to let you have any children because I'm going to give you this'. "And I'm going to say 'you're going to have this endometriosis, and you're going to suffer with this all of your life, chronically, and I'm not going to let you have any children. "I thought that was peculiar, cruel, and inexplicable and unforgivable. And if ever I go up to somewhere and meet this person I would say 'I think you're not OK with decisions like this, this doesn't make any sense to me,' he lamented. The dancer went on to praise women for the things they have to go through with their bodies and health and shared his sadness about not being able to take Hannah's pain away. He continued: 'Then we went through the process of IVF, well crying out loud. You girls are extraordinary. As much as I want to get involved, all I can do is hold your hand. 'It makes me emotional every time I talk about it. The injections, the stress, the anxiety. I have anxiety and stress but it's not my body. "She has these injections and the bruises in the bum, in the thigh, in the stomach. And you're trying to help but what can you do? 'Whatever you want, tell me and I'll do it but that's all you have and it's horrendous as a man to watch it. Fuming Strictly viewers accuse 'mean' judge Anton DuBeke of being 'horrible' to celeb - did you spot it? 'You feel so inadequate and you want to do so much more but I can't do anything. And that's why you girls are so extraordinary, you're extraordinary that you do all this stuff." Anton and Hannah were fortunate enough to conceive after their first round of IVF and are now a happy family of four. This isn't the first time Anton has opened up about Hannah's endometriosis as he discussed her battle while appearing on Loose Women in 2020. He told the ladies: 'For a woman, it affects the quality of your life to a degree because it sort of comes in three parts. "First, there's the excruciating pain, second there's the swelling. It sometimes makes you look like you're pregnant, which is quite a perverse thing because people come up to you and say 'congratulations' and you're like 'actually, no'.' 4
