Celebrity Catchphrase host Stephen Mulhern left red-faced after suffering a hilarious gaffe
The host, 48, showed a clip of the latest guess the catchphrase question which featured a coffee shop with rapidly increasing prices.
As guests Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner watched on as the prices continued to increase through the coffee shop roof, the host failed to give them the opportunity to answer.
Stephen said: 'Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!'
A hilariously awkward silence then fell over the studio when Stephen realised what he had done.

Then Jeremy, 60, jokingly pressed his buzzer and said: 'Sorry, what? Was that the answer?'
Stephen, who was clearly in disbelief at his mistake, proceeded to nod before the studio, celebs and audience burst into laughter.
He admitted: 'I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!'
Luke Kempner joked: 'I was just thinking 'this is a very tricky one, if it's not that!'
He then noted that the host had just bagged himself £200 for a charity of his choice.
'We've got a bit of Catchphrase history here!' Jeremy added before joking of the host's predecessor: 'Roy Walker never did that.'
Stephen then managed to get his professional hat back on after the fail and proceeded with the game, which sees celebs try to win up to £50,000 for a charity of their choice.
The show has proven so popular that it has just had the go-ahead for its 11th season, despite other cuts being made to rival shows on mainstream television.
This has affected Stephen, whose other show, In For A Penny, was given the axe after six years.
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.'
The show first hit screens back in March 2018 and has featured many big-name contestants including Kelly Osbourne and Anton du Beke.
Celebrity Catchphrase's predecessor, simply known as Catchphrase, first aired way back in 1985 when it was presented by Roy Walker.
The show ran on and off until 2013 when it was revived by Stephen Mulhern.

Biddy Baxter was warm, funny and inspirational
Despite her reputation as a formidable, sometimes controlling, editor of Blue Peter, when I met Biddy Baxter (Obituary, 11 August) she exuded nothing but warmth and fun, entertaining us immensely with all her anecdotes. The occasion was a long, leisurely lunch in 2008, along with her original producers. This was to celebrate the awarding of a coveted gold Blue Peter badge to my then husband for a scientific breakthrough, which coincided with the inclusion of an aspirational childhood letter of his in a book marking Blue Peter's 50th anniversary. Biddy's encouraging response to it, he wrote to her, helped put him firmly on the path to becoming a LamontSt Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex Was the Biddy Baxter obituary one you 'prepared earlier'?John HinklyLittle Chalfont, Buckinghamshire Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?
