Celebrity Catchphrase stumps Derry Girls legend with final image - but can YOU rumble the riddle that tripped them up?
Celebrity Catchphrase caught out a Derry Girls legend in the final round - but can you solve the riddle that stumped her? The hit ITV show has always led with the 'say what you say' mantra, but as members of the public and more recently, celebrities have found out, it isn't as easy as it sounds. In a 2023 episode, Derry Girls star Siobhán McSweeney, 45, who played the no-nonsense Sister Michael in the Channel 4 comedy, took on the guessing game in the hopes of raising money for charity. Going head-to-head with EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks and Coronation Street 's Jimmi Harkishin (aka Dev Alahan), Siobhán sailed through to the final round. But with time ticking and pressure mounting, the actress came unstuck at the final Super Catchphrase puzzle. Can you crack the clue that tripped her up? In the animated scene, three people are working out. Two appear to be doing just fine - but the third is clearly struggling with bicep curls and looks miserable. On the floor in front of them? A triangle, a square, and a circle. Any ideas? Despite her valiant efforts, Siobhán didn't solve it in time. But she still walked away a winner - scooping £25,000 in the final round, on top of the £4,500 she'd already earned. That meant a total of £29,500 went to her chosen charity, The Maya Centre in North London, which provides counselling and holistic support to low-income and minoritised women. Once the game was over, host Stephen Mulhern, 48, asked if she wanted to know the answer, but the penny had already dropped. Free from the countdown clock, Siobhán quickly realised the catchphrase was: 'Out of shape' -a clever play on both the character's workout woes and the fact they were standing outside the circle. And it wasn't just Siobhán's charity that benefited. She also nailed the show's special double charity question, meaning both Charlie and Jimmi saw their winnings double too. Charlie raised money for breast cancer charity Future Dreams, while Jimmi donated to Baby Lifeline, which supports NHS staff in preventing injuries and deaths during childbirth. Earlier this month, host Stephen was left red-faced after giving away an answer to a question. A scene showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, and Stephen declared: 'Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!' Following his accidental outburst, the contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed-looking Stephen clocked what he had said. Jeremy eventually broke the silence by pressing his buzzer and jokingly asked: 'Sorry, what? Was that the answer?' Stephen embarrassingly nodded before bursting into fits of laughter alongside the audience. He admitted: 'I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!'
