Stephen Mulhern makes unprecedented blunder on ITV's Catchphrase
The show, which asks contestants to identify a well-known phrase or idiom based on a short animated clip, featured Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner on the latest episode.
At one point, a clip was shown depicting pastries with escalating price tags, which are then shown bursting through the roof of the building.
Narrating the clip in an effort to encourage answers, Mulhern remarked: 'Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!'
However, he quickly realised that he had given away the answer in its entirety.
'Sorry, what? Was that the answer?' said Jeremy Vine, after buzzing in.

"I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!" Mulhern said, with his head in his hands.
'I was just thinking 'this is a very tricky one, if it's not that!' added Kempner, who then joked that Mulhern had taken his prize money tally up to £200.
Vine remarked that the incident represented 'a bit of Catchphrase history'.
Catchphrase first began in 1986 and was hosted by Irish comedian Roy Walker. He was succeeded by Nick Weir in 2000, and Mark Curry in 2002 before the series was cancelled that year.
Mulhern began hosting the revival in 2012, which initially involved members of the public as contestants. Since 2018, the programme has featured celebrity contestants, who compete to win money for charity.
Celebrity Catchphrase was recently renewed for an 11th series on ITV.
ITV commissioner Gemma John-Lewis said: 'We're delighted to announce a further series of the much-loved family favourite, Celebrity Catchphrase.
'The only show where you say what you see, the hugely popular series continues to win legions of fans and with Stephen's infectious and playful humour it's a firm favourite with our viewers.'

Call for 'young producers' to help shape Museum of North Craven Life
THE Museum of North Craven Life at The Folly, Settle, has put out a call to young people willing to help it shape the museum for years to come. The museum says it wants the voices and opinions of young people from 16 to 25-years old to be at the heart of what it does and has launched a new 'young producers' initiative. Isobel O'Donovan, community curator, said: "We are launching a new creative heritage project for young people who live in North Craven to help us shape the museum for years to come. "We are looking for people interested in history, art, storytelling or design, and if the answer to any of these questions is yes, then The Folly's young producers might be for you. ""Our young producers will meet once a month at The Folly, take part in creative activities, and experience the behind the scenes workings of the museum. By the end of the project, they will put together a creative output – this could be a zine, pop exhibit or event – the direction of the project will be chosen by the young people and supported by museum staff." Isobel said there are lots of reasons for young people to take part in the project. "Participants will have the opportunity to meet other young people with similar interests, try out new skills, and gain experience that could support future education or work opportunities," she said.

Now that's a big rock — what we know about Cristiano Ronaldo's gigantic engagement ring
Cristiano Ronaldo has proposed to his longtime girlfriend with a massive diamond engagement ring. The footballer's girlfriend, Argentine-Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez, announced the engagement in a Monday post on Instagram. She posted a picture of her hand with long, manicured nails — and a huge ring. Rodriguez captioned the post, "I do. In this and all my lives," written in Spanish. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Georgina Rodríguez (@georginagio) The central oval-shaped diamond was flanked on either side by two smaller diamonds. Anya Walsh, a jewelry specialist at London-based retailer 77 Diamonds, told The New York Times that she estimates the ring's weight was around 35 carats and costs at least $5 million. Ronaldo and Rodriguez have been dating since 2016. They met when Ronaldo walked into a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodriquez, now 31, worked as a retail assistant. They share two daughters and raise them with Ronaldo's three children from a previous relationship. Their son, a twin of their younger daughter, was stillborn at birth. Ronaldo, 40, is a Portuguese football player who is the captain and forward of the Portuguese national team and Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr Football Club. Before joining Al-Nassr, he played for numerous other football clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus.
