Will Mellor is known for his roles as Jambo Bolton in Hollyoaks, Warren Stamp in EastEnders, and Harvey Gaskell in Coronation Street,
The star, managed to make it all the way to the final of the episode and take on the super Catchphrase with host Stephen Mulhern.
He was playing for his charity, When You Wish Upon A Star, and was given 60 seconds to get as many of the puzzles correct as he could.
The final catchphrase is split into five sections with each of them holding a certain amount of cash which increases upon each level.
Will was nervous because he really wanted to do well in the quiz so that his charity could grant more wishes to children.
But he was stumped on some as he made his way up the pyramid.
In one of the puzzles, there was a group of figures on one side of the screen with the word 'way' above them as a solitary figure stood on the other side also displaying the word 'way'.
Will had a try but couldn't get it and when Stephen revealed that the answer was one way street - Will exclaimed " I see it now!"
In another puzzle there was a picture of a group of balls with an arrow pointing at one larger than the rest.
Will groaned when he was told the answer was - he's a big shot.

And in a puzzle that he ran out of time on - there was a video of a woman answering her phone opposite an image of London.
The answer was of course London Calling.
Stephen said: "Listen Will, forget about it because you have won £6700 that you banked earlier on.
"Now that £1000 you just won, so for your charity you are taking away a mighty £16700."
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.
Wil replied: " Thank you, that's amazing."
Meanwhile, watch the moment a star missed out on £25k prize on the show – could you solve the riddle in time?
And Nadine Coyle missed out on a huge £50k Celebrity Catchphrase prize – but would you have got it right?
Plus, Celebrity Catchphrase viewers were in tears when Line of Duty star Mark Bonnar won over £17k for an ME charity.

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.'

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

Queen Camilla is elegant in an all-white ensemble as she attends the King George Racing Weekend at Ascot solo
Queen Camilla was typically elegant in an off-white ensemble as she arrived at Ascot Racecourse without King Charles this afternoon. The Queen Consort, 78, was attending the annual King George Racing Weekend in Berkshire - and she more than dressed the part. The royal opted for a monochrome look, in a tailored, off-white dress. She styled the long-sleeved dress with a matching wide-brimmed hat, and carried an umbrella to shield from any impending rain. Camilla completed her look with natural make-up, and kept her blonde hair in its usual bouncy style. It's been a busy week for the Queen Consort, who attended the Sandringham Flower Show with King Charles just days ago. She saw the funny side as she met a royal fan who has had her royal cypher tattooed on his leg - and revealed that one of her police officers also has one too. King Charles and the Queen were attending Sandringham Flower Show, held in the grounds of the Norfolk royal residence, where they marvelled at exhibits, toured stands and met hundreds of well-wishers in their final large-scale joint public engagement before they begin their summer holidays. Phil Smith, 61, from Northampton pulled up his shorts to show Her Majesty his latest royal inking, telling her that it had 'bloody hurt', prompting her to laugh uproariously. She then turned to her one of her police protection officers and said 'look, he's got one too'. Mr Smith said afterwards that he had been writing to Camilla since before her marriage to the King as he thought 'she was great' and that she frequently responded. He has a total of four large tattoos along the outer side of his left leg, starting with Queen Elizabeth's royal cypher and including both Charles and Camilla's individual ones. His latest - situated on the top of his thigh - is of their joint royal cypher and took about an hour and a half to do. He waited at the front of the crowd at the Sandringham Flower Show to show the Queen. Wearing a black shirt, large cross, denim shorts and sliders, Mr Smith said after their meeting: 'I just think she's fabulous and have got to know her a bit. We just hit it off. 'I love the royal family and she in particular has got a good sense of humour. She frequently responds. 'I waited to see her to show her my latest [tattoo] and she laughed. She said one of her security men has also had it done too.' He said he thought it was of their joint royal cypher and the police officer was there with her that day. He added: 'Honestly, she's just great. We exchange letters. She knew who I was. She asked how long it [the latest one] took and I told her about two and a half hours. 'But I told her this one bloody hurt. She just finds it hilarious.
