Emily - who recently announced her engagement - stormed through the rounds and made it to the Super Catchphrase finale.
However, the wheels quickly fell off for the actress as she struggled to get an answer to secure £2,500.
The first catchphrase saw a man chop into a cauliflower in his kitchen, revealing cheese inside.
After a couple of unsuccessful guesses, Emily moved on to another, which featured two men shaking hands over a loaf of bread.
They then smashed it with mallets, but Emily didn't have a clue and cried: "What? These are hard!"
She then moaned "Oh no!" before deciding to move on to another, but the situation did not improve.
As the clock ticked down, she was shown a box on a street which opened to show letters inside.
She passed, and went for a fourth go at securing £2,500, which the catchphrase showing a couple trying to check into a hotel, with a fully booked sign next to the front desk.
But the man then pulled a cord and they were able to go in, with Emily correctly guessing: "Pull some strings."
However, she only had five seconds left and was unable to start on the catchphrase that could have landed her charity £5,000.

As the time ran out, host Stephen Mulhern put his hands to his face while Emily said again that it was "so hard" and put her hand to her forehead.
Stephen then revealed the answers to the three catchphrases she had missed.
The first catchphrase she passed on was 'cauliflower cheese', while the second was 'breaking bread' relating to when people meet each other.
The third one ended up being 'letter box', prompting Emily to say "Oh my God!" and put her hand to her mouth.
It wasn't all bad for Emily though, as Stephen added her £2,500 to the money she had won earlier in the show, meaning she was taking a total of £7,200 to her chosen charity.
