Stephen Mulhern welcomed Roman, Richard Blackwood and Julia Bradbury to the studio.
Having seen off the competition, The One Show star Roman advanced to the Super Catchphrase round.
Roman soon stumbled on a few successive puzzles - having to "pass" on them.
The first appeared to show a woman crushing an apple in her hand.
Next was a knight wearing armour, turning over a sword with "Edge One" and "Edge Two" inscribed on either side.
After that came a marching band - but with two soldiers' faces and bodies replaced by large feet.
While Roman didn't make it up the pyramid, he managed to win £2,500.
Combined with £5,300 he bagged earlier in the show, his charity received an impressive £7,800.
The elusive answers were "Apple Crumble", "Double-Edged Sword" and "Foot Soldiers".
It's not the first time Celebrity Catchphrase left a famous face absolutely stumped.
Watch the moment Joe Lycett is stumped by 'way too hard' Celebrity Catchphrase question
Comedian Joe Lycett was baffled by a "way too hard" riddle in the ITV show.
The clue showed a map of three countries Italy, America and France, all walking on a road with grumpy faces.
Despite throwing out a few wild guesses, Joe ran out of time on this bizarre catchphrase.
When host Stephen revealed the right answer, Joe groaned: "I would have never of got that."
The answer was "cross country running".
His numerous unsuccessful attempts ranged from "angry countries" to "angry countries running."
Altogether, Joe managed to walk away with £32,000 for his chosen charity.
Celebrity Catchphrase airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Ray Brooks dead: Coronation Street and EastEnders actor who voiced Mr Benn dies
Ray Brooks has died at the age of 86, his family has confirmed. The actor, who is one of the few actors to appear in both Coronation Street and EastEnders, died on Saturday after a short illness, his family told the BBC. He was also the famous voice of Mr Benn, narrating the classic 1970s children's show. The actor's sons Will and Tom shared a touching statement to confirm his death. They said that while their father thought he was best known for his role on Mr Benn, people would be "continually asking him to say the catchphrase 'as if by magic!'". In the cartoon, a character named Mr Benn would find himself entering a new adventure each episode as he dressed up in a magical costume shop. In the statement to the BBC, his family added: "Although only 13 episodes were made, they were repeated twice a year for 21 years." In the soap world, Ray joined the Corrie cobbles in the 1960s, taking up the role as Norman Philips in the long-running ITV soap. Almost 40 years later, he switched allegiances, joining BBC's EastEnders as Joe Macer. His character will be best remembered for murdering his wife Pauline Fowler. but throughout his long career in showbiz, Ray also had a large resume to look back on. After being the male lead in the ground-breaking 1960s BBC drama Cathy Come Home, he later starred in 1980s hit Big Deal. He played the part of Robbie Box and the series before later appearing in Running Wild as the comic lead Max Wild.

Alex Jones: Stars celebrate 15 years of One Show host
The Welsh TV star, 48, had mainly worked on children's TV before she joined the BBC weekday chat show in August 2010, which has seen her cover major events including Sport Relief and Eurovision. She has also interviewed a number of Hollywood stars including Robert De Niro, Julianne Moore, Jackie Chan and Sydney Sweeney. There was a surprise for Jones during Friday night's show when she was asked to move to the other side of the sofa to be interviewed by her co-host Roman Kemp and their guest, author and gameshow host Richard Osman. Jones, who usually asks the questions, was put in the hot seat and asked about her 15 years on the BBC One show. The 30-minute special, which included a chat with pop star Olly Murs, included some heartfelt montages looking at some of the celebrities Jones has interviewed over the years, from Dolly Parton to Whoopi Goldberg. A number of famous people including baking star Dame Mary Berry and Welsh actor Michael Sheen shared their memories of Jones. The BBC's director-general, Tim Davie, also made an appearance at the studio to congratulate the TV presenter. Other highlights included a film looking back at Jones's early days in Cardiff and a talk with her old drama tutor and parents. Co-presenter Kemp, 32, said: 'Alex is a national treasure in my opinion and someone I'm so grateful to call my co-host. 'I've learned so much from her since being at The One Show and every day I see first-hand just how much the show and its viewers mean to her. A true great of the BBC and a wonderful human being.' The One Show editor, Joanne Vaughan-Jones, said: 'It's an absolute privilege to celebrate this special milestone with Alex. 'Being live on the sofa night after night, she brings a rare gift – the ability to make everyone feel completely at ease, whether it's the guests on the sofa or the viewers watching from home. 'Her warmth, empathy, quick wit and natural connection with people are what make her such a cherished part of the show.' Jones has worked alongside broadcasters including Vernon Kay, Clara Amfo and Lauren Laverne. She also co-hosted alongside former footballer Jermaine Jenas before he was removed from the presenting team after alleged issues relating to workplace conduct.
