One instalment saw Stephen Mulhern welcome Emmerdale's Mark Charnock, comedian Kerry Godliman and Loose Women's Janet Street-Porter.
It was Mark, 56, who has played Marlon Dingle since 1996, who ultimately reached the final round.
Playing on behalf of The Stroke Association, he accumulated £6,500 in the earlier rounds.
The final catchphrase is split into five sections with each of them holding a certain amount of cash which increases upon each level.
Hoping to bag the top prize for his charity, the actor struggled with a few riddles along the way.
The first puzzle showed a couple sat in an aeroplane, with the flight attendants' heads replaced by wooden houses.
Mark took a guess with "log cabin" before ultimately deciding to pass on this riddle.
Later on, it was revealed the right answer was actually "cabin crew".
Up next were a trio of figures made out of bread, who were stood side-by-side in a bakery.
One, who had red hair and a matching moustache, had an arrow pointed at them.

"Gingerbread Man" was the solution that eluded the Emmerdale actor.
Another riddle showed Mr. Chips crying as images of wells appeared in his eyes.
This one was simply "he's welling up" - which Mark found out after the round ended.
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.
However, Mark managed to answer the following one correctly - winning £5,000 in the final round.
Speaking afterwards, the actor said: "Your brain goes flat!"
Stephen agreed, saying: "It's bizarre, it's the most bizarre thing. People just go to pieces sometimes."
Celebrity Catchphrase airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Gemma Collins' 'risky move after 2 stone weight loss with something to prove'
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins is said to be close to signing a big money deal which could see her return to the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle She's the diva who's never far from a headline – and Gemma Collins is set to grab some more as she prepares to head back into the jungle, nearly a decade after her famous early exit. This time, however, it's a whole different ballgame and there's serious money (and pride) on the line. The 43-year-old reality star is said to be close to signing a deal to take part in I'm A Celebrity: All Stars, the spin-off series filming this autumn and due to hit our screens next year. Insiders say the offer is 'too good to turn down'. A source claims to new, ' ITV bosses love Gemma because they know they'll get plenty of drama and some fabulous diva moments. She might not last long – in fact, she probably won't – but that will make it funny and unmissable viewing. They want her in there, they know the GC is a box office winner. Love her or loathe her, whether she cries, stamps her feet or has people in stitches, she'll win viewers and that's what they want. 'Gemma has been keeping a relatively low profile – by GC standards – so she knows this could be a real boost. There's an awful lot riding on it. Following years of weight battles she has lost two stone recently, she's in a good place. She's feeling more confident than ever and has said she can't wait to show off her body in a bikini on the show.' But while the big payday may sound like a dream come true – her potential fee is rumoured to be £150, 000, a far cry from the £40,000 she was reportedly given for her first jungle stint in 2014 – there's no denying it comes with a lot of pressure. The jungle whispers come after a difficult time for the former TOWIE star, who revealed last month that she'd been forced to beef up security at her Essex home after being targeted by a stalker – an ordeal she described as one of the most 'frightening' experiences of her life. A big jungle return could be just the boost she needs. But can she go the distance this time? Fans will remember her short-lived appearance in 2014, where she made her mark but faced criticism when she dramatically left after just three days. Who could forget her helicopter meltdown, her flat-out refusal to eat jungle food and those teary confessions in the Bush Telegraph? It was peak GC and that's why appearing on the All Stars edition, to be filmed in South Africa, could be a golden opportunity. Previously sharing the real reason she quit back in 2014, she explained, 'My time was short in the jungle and not many people know that I was robbed and physically attacked 24 hours before leaving for Australia. I didn't want to let anyone down, so I still went in. However, I was in a terrible state and shock, as you can imagine, and couldn't see it through. 'I took lots of stick over it, but if you was robbed and attacked and then sent into the jungle, I'm sure you would have struggled, too. I would never let anyone destroy my dreams again.' According to PR expert Lynn Carratt, Gemma will use a jungle appearance to reignite her TV career. 'She hasn't actually been on our screens since 2022, when she was in a segment on BBC 's Springwatch. She also had a guest section on The Big Breakfast as an agony aunt. 'I don't think she'll be doing this for the money. She's got over 2 million followers on Instagram and is doing lucrative brand deals every week. She's just done one with Netflix for the series Too Much and she has an active sculpt collection at Debenhams. 'Reality TV, however, is Gemma's bread and butter, from TOWIE to Dancing On Ice to her own reality show. That's how she started and how she made her name. With the jungle, she has a lot to prove. She lasted three days last time. People are going to want to see her go through it. She's dramatic, entertaining and unpredictable. 'Everything's been a bit up and down for Gemma, but she's looking great, she's lost two stone and she'll probably lose more before any filming begins. She might feel fitter and be able to handle jungle life better. It's not for the faint-hearted. It's a risk, but if she can prove herself, it could propel her back into the spotlight in a big way.' Well, if the GC back in the jungle is on next year's bingo card, we're here for it!

Adam Sandler's 'best ever' films including one that should have won him Oscar
The actor has had a lucrative deal with the streamer for years Adam Sandler's latest film has arrived on Netflix as he revisits one of his most popular characters. Happy Gilmore 2 is now available on the streaming giant's platform. It is the latest title in the long-term deal between the streamer and actor. Sandler has a lucrative agreement with Netflix, initially signed in 2014 and renewed multiple times, which has seen a number of movies added to the service. The deal was reportedly $250 million for four films. This includes movies starring the comedian to ones produced under his Happy Madison company. Here are ten of the best Adam Sandler titles that are currently streaming on Netflix. Uncut Gems Uncut Gems is the film that kickstarted a partnership between Sandler and the Safdie brothers who co-wrote and directed the title. Sandler stars as a charismatic jeweller who makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win. This is very different from Sandler's typical comedies and comes with a warning that it is at times, uncomfortable to watch. Many fans believe this is the one that the comic actor should have received an Oscar for. One fan said: "Adam Sandler 'was robbed' as Kathy Bates advised him. That he didn't win an Oscar for his starring role in Uncut Gems was an outrage. The directing was equally deserving of an Oscar nod. Likewise, the screenplay, and the overwhelming score, which conveyed a pounding chaos which coincided with the "in your face" story. All of these components of the film combined to produce a heartpoundingly suspenseful, and tension-filled experience." Uncut Gems is streaming on Netflix. Hustle Adam Sandler's highest rated film according to Rotten Tomatoes with 94% is 2022's Hustle. It's another one of his titles with a strong sports link and has him giving an earnest performance as oppose to digging for gags. A significantly less intense watch than Uncut Gems, Sandler plays a down-on-his-luck basketball scout who finds himself ready to return home for good. He yearns to achieve his dreams of becoming a coach. However, after he discovers an extraordinary and completely unknown player abroad, he brings the phenom back without his team's approval. One fan claimed: "I thought that it'd just be another sports movie, but it was more than I expected. It was a heartfelt story, with undertones of "Rocky" nostalgia, and an exceptional cast. Easily, one of Sandler's best" Hustle is streaming on Netflix. The Meyerowitz Stories Written and directed by Noah Baumbach, this is another that isn't your typical Sandler movie. An ensemble piece in which his performance is complimented by the presence of Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson and Adam Driver. The film follows estranged siblings who come together to celebrate their father, Harold Meyerowitz, and his work as an artist during an unorthodox family reunion in New York. One fan said: "Hilarious, heartfelt, quirky, witty family comedy-drama. Oh and it also stars a few acting giants too, Hoffman, Bergen, Stiller, Weaver, Thomspon and Sandler like you've never seen the dude before. Can't recommend this stellar little film highly enough." You Are So Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah This 2023 release earned 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and sees Sandler take on a smaller role. Instead, it's his daughter who takes the spotlight. The film follows Stacy and Lydia are BFFs who've always dreamed about having epic bat mitzvahs. However, things start to go comically awry when a popular boy and middle school drama threatens their friendship and their rite of passage. One fan surmised: "A little cheesy, a bit predictable in some parts, but still an overall feel good film. You'll feel some emotions, get a few laughs. Adam Sandler steps back to let his (real life!) daughter Sunny steal the show" You Are So Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah is streaming on Netflix. Leo A more family friendly entry sees Sandler play animated character Leo the Lizard. Leo has been stuck in the same Florida school for decades. When he learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to freedom, but instead has to rescue his class from their horribly mean substitute teacher. One fan said: "Such an underrated movie! Most cartoon movies are for kids but you could watch this one even if your an adult and still enjoy it." Leo is streaming on Netflix. Big Daddy One of Sandler's classics currently available on Netflix sees him play irresponsible Koufax who is dumped by his girlfriend for an older man. He adopts a five-year-old boy to impress her. But after spending time with him, he decides to become the father the boy needs. One fan said: "Like a lot of the golden age Adam Sandler films, it is quite a memorable and eminently quotable film. It also has great lessons about growing up and not judging books by their cover, and not being a bully." Big Daddy is streaming on Netflix. Happy Gilmore While Sandler is reprising his role of Happy Gilmore for a new sequel just released on Netflix, the original is also available. Time will tell whether or not fans believe if the follow up lives up to the 1996 original. Those that aren't familiar with the first outing should definitely check it out. Sandler plays titular character Happy, an aspiring hockey player who joins the PGA tour to make some money to save his grandma's house. But he doesn't really have the temper to go up against the favourite of the game and win the championship. One fan posted: "One of the most beloved Adam Sandler movies of all time. It received a reputation as a cult classic. The movie strikes at an effective blend of funny silly comedy, and relatable drama." Happy Gilmore is streaming on Netflix. Spaceman If you're looking forward to Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary then Spaceman is a good primer. It holds a similar premise albeit some significant differences. Six months into a solo mission, a lonely astronaut confronts the cracks in his marriage with help from a mysterious creature he discovers on his ship. A fan claimed: "This movie is a true masterpiece, designed for those who appreciate deep, reflective, and psychologically advanced narratives. It's not merely entertainment, but a profound exploration that offers wisdom and insight." Spaceman is streaming on Netflix. Adam Sandler: Love You Strictly not a movie but Sandler's latest comedy special. However, directed by one of the Safdie's it is bookended by what feels like a short film. There are even some on stage antics that will make you wonder which parts are scripted. Receiving 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earning an Emmy nomination, it deserves a place among Sandler's best and a must watch for fans of the comedian's career. On fan claimed: "I honestly think this was a piece of art, there is no other comedy special like it, making you feel like you're watching a scene of a movie, great songs, the ending is something that we'll look back and appreciate so much more in the future."

Helen Mirren at 80 - 'Don't ever tell me to grow old gracefully!'
A national treasure, though she'd probably cringe at that description, as she turns 80 acting royalty Helen Mirren offers her forthright opinions about ageing, marriage and confidence Dame Helen Mirren is as fearless, feisty and adventurous as ever. And as she celebrates her 80th birthday today, 26 July, she can certainly rest in the knowledge that she remains one of Britain's most ageless actors - one who has always pushed tirelessly against the idea of how long a woman can remain 'relevant' - particularly on-screen. The national treasure, who has played a whole host of iconic roles, from Detective Jane Tennison in the television series Prime Suspect to her Oscar-winning turn as Queen Elizabeth II in 2006 film The Queen reveals the secrets to her 40-year relationship with husband director Taylor Hackford. She also reveals she never plans a thing when it comes to the future - and why, as she prepares to celebrate her milestone birthday, as OK! reports, the last thing she wants to hear is that she looks 'good for her age' or worse, that she's 'ageing gracefully'... How is your approach to ageing gracefully helping you with turning 80? I am not ageing gracefully at all! I hate that term - it sounds like you have to be elegant and accepting, and, no, I am not. I am ageing with fun, with commitment but not gracefully. Who cares about graceful? We just do grow older, there's no way you can escape that. You have to grow up with your own body, your own face and the way it changes. It's not always easy but it is inevitable. You have to learn to accept it. How do you feel when someone says you look good for your age? Insulted (laughs). You look good for your age is patronising. I hate that kind of comment. Be prepared, if you use that phrase, to be dissed in a major way! You've often credited the 1950s Canadian Air Force program for keeping you looking so fit and healthy... That's true. I have to admit, I don't do it so much now, and I should get back into it. It is a great way to get fit. You just do what they tell you to do. You start very low and you think, 'Oh, this is just much too easy.' And if it is, then you start making it more difficult for yourself. Then you go, 'Oh my God, no, this is really difficult.' It can be quite challenging, but it works. It's great.' What are your top tips to keep looking and feeling good? It's as important to make the inside of you, as healthy as the outside of you. I always go everywhere with my vitamins. That is probably the most important thing in my beauty bag, actually. What you eat, what you drink, what you don't smoke, really makes a massive difference to your skin, especially as you progress through life. It's incredibly important to feed the inside of your skin, as much as the outside of your skin.' How has your relationship with beauty and image changed over the years? The majority of us are not beautiful. There are beautiful people who walk on this planet, and we can all see them and appreciate them, but the majority of us are not beautiful like that. But, we can put on style, we can put on swagger, we can put on confidence, we can put on wit and charm, and lots of other things that are just as attractive as sheer beauty. So, I think in a way, that word - beauty - it alienates people. It did for me, for many years, I have to say. Is there anything you've learned about beauty that you wish you'd known when you were younger? Yes, to let go of the concept of beauty. Think of confidence. Think swagger. Enjoy beauty where you see it, absolutely, but let go of it for yourself. Don't let it influence your thinking in any way. I remember being in my thirties and being told, if I used this cream, I could look like I was a teenager again, with absolutely no marks of any living whatsoever. That annoyed me. Luckily, we have gone way beyond that. Where does your own confidence and swagger come from? It took a while and I'm still working on it. I was very, very insecure as a young person. My body was the wrong shape. I was very insecure around people. The most important thing is to remember that probably everybody feels the same.' You play many strong, ferocious characters on-screen. Are you anything like them in real-life? I wouldn't say I'm ferocious. I'm a total wimp. I'm not a confrontational person at all. I can be argumentative sometimes - more so when I was younger. I would defend positions that I thought were correct. I have always been a feminist, and argumentative but, I don't think I am ferocious. Maybe people would have a different idea of me, I don't know. How do you look back on your career up to now? Yes, well, you know, I think I was brave. I have to say, as a young actress, I think I was courageous. I was. And keen to break down attitudes that I thought were old-fashioned, or retrograde, or just wrong, you know. So, I relished having roles. That is the great thing about drama, is that it can do that, without being lecturing because it is entertaining at the same time. It can really change people's attitudes about things.' Have you always been at ease with being in the spotlight? No, not at all. A lot of actors become actors because they are shy, in a way. They find being themselves quite difficult, so it is much easier to become someone else. I think that was the case with me, to a certain extent, certainly when I started.' Your next film is T he Thursday Murder Club. What can you tell us about that? It's based on the extremely successful Thursday books. It's with a some beloved fellow British actors and it's a very British subject. I'm really excited about it. Do you still feel British - though you're a big Hollywood star, live in America and have an American husband? I do. I'm very proud to be British and it's funny because even in America I seem to be surrounded by Brits. It's full of them! The world has become so much smaller. You and your husband have been together for 40 years and married for more almost 30. What's your secret? I think it helps that we're both in the same business. We understand what we each go through and the demands on your time. But the main thing is trust. As long as you trust and respect each other, and are not jealous of each other, then it works. We came into the relationship already very grown-up, so all of that crap was out of the way. And it's not such a bad thing to be separated for two or three weeks from time to time. That's fine, as long as you trust each other and really look forward to seeing each other again. Finally, what are your plans for this next chapter of your life? I have no idea. You know, when I was 20, I didn't know what my twenties would be like. I didn't know what my thirties would be like... I still have no idea and that's the adventure. Life is an adventure. I don't plan anything. I don't expect anything. I will just allow life to come and hit me, the way it always has.
