The iconic ITV game show encourages contestants to "say what they see" - but this isn't always obvious.
Stephen Mulhern welcomed Jeremy, BBC One radio DJ Charlie Hedges and comedian and actor Luke Kempnern to the studio.
However, Charlie and Luke didn't get a look in when one catchphrase saw Jeremy pressing and guessing several times.
After three wrong guesses, viewers were on the edge of their seats wondering if he'd finally get it right.

The clue showed a woman relaxing on a deck chair, picking up a small side plate on the table beside her.
On the plate was a slice of cake, and on the cake was an image of tall gates in the sky on clouds.
Just seconds in, Jeremy was quick to buzz in and guess "pearly gates," to which host Stephen Mulhern revealed was incorrect.
Just moments later, Jeremy buzzed in again with "Black Forest gateau."

Stephen said he was incorrect again.
He then helped the players out by adding: "She could be happier... oh, I've got my..."
Jeremy buzzed in again with "heavenly cake."
Stephen revealed it was wrong again, but "heaven is in the phrase" and added, "she's in her happy place."
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.
Have you got it yet?
Jeremy buzzed in for a fourth time, this time with the right answer... "a slice of heaven."
Charlie and Luke applauded Jeremy's efforts and persistence as they also celebrated him getting the right answer.
Having seen off the competition, it was Luke who advanced to the Super Catchphrase round.
He just missed out on winning a jackpot of £25,000, but managed to take home £16,200 for his charity, Little Lives UK.
Celebrity Catchphrase airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
