Emily Atack left stumped by three tricky Celebrity Catchphrase riddles in nightmare finale – but do you know any?
EMILY Atack was left stumped by three tricky Celebrity Catchphrase riddles in a nightmare finale - but do you know any? The Rivals actress competed on the hit ITV show alongside Brenda Edwards and Martin Kemp. 4 4 Emily - who recently announced her engagement - stormed through the rounds and made it to the Super Catchphrase finale. However, the wheels quickly fell off for the actress as she struggled to get an answer to secure £2,500. The first catchphrase saw a man chop into a cauliflower in his kitchen, revealing cheese inside. After a couple of unsuccessful guesses, Emily moved on to another, which featured two men shaking hands over a loaf of bread. They then smashed it with mallets, but Emily didn't have a clue and cried: "What? These are hard!" She then moaned "Oh no!" before deciding to move on to another, but the situation did not improve. As the clock ticked down, she was shown a box on a street which opened to show letters inside. She passed, and went for a fourth go at securing £2,500, which the catchphrase showing a couple trying to check into a hotel, with a fully booked sign next to the front desk. But the man then pulled a cord and they were able to go in, with Emily correctly guessing: "Pull some strings." However, she only had five seconds left and was unable to start on the catchphrase that could have landed her charity £5,000. Celebrity Catchphrase stumps Derry Girls legend with the final image - but could you have got it? As the time ran out, host Stephen Mulhern put his hands to his face while Emily said again that it was "so hard" and put her hand to her forehead. Stephen then revealed the answers to the three catchphrases she had missed. The first catchphrase she passed on was 'cauliflower cheese', while the second was 'breaking bread' relating to when people meet each other. The third one ended up being 'letter box', prompting Emily to say "Oh my God!" and put her hand to her mouth. It wasn't all bad for Emily though, as Stephen added her £2,500 to the money she had won earlier in the show, meaning she was taking a total of £7,200 to her chosen charity. 4

Newly-engaged Emily Atack enjoys romantic getaway with fiancé Alistair Garner as the pair share a kiss while soaking up the sun in France
Newly engaged Emily Atack and her fiancé Alistair Garber have been enjoying a romantic getaway at the Midi-Pyrenees in France. And the actress, 35, who announced the hunk had popped the question on Friday, seems to be staying on cloud nine as she and Alistair continued to share a slew of snaps of their recent days away. In one image The Rivals star could be seen in fits of giggles as she sat next to her man, as the two shared a drink. Emily looked gorgeous in a denim dress, which she styled with a red patterned bandana that she wore in her hair. She accessorised with some funky bracelets and oversized sunglasses. In another snap, the actress was unable to wipe the smile off her face, as she beamed for the camera next to a pal, whilst flashing the diamond on her wedding finger. Emily looked relaxed as she went makeup free and showed off her sun kissed skin and wore her hair in a salty wet look, presumably from the pool. The couple, who welcomed son Barney in June 2024, looked happier than ever as a video on the carousel, showed the two of them blissfully unaware that anybody was watching and planting a huge kiss on each others lips. Emily who seemed to be laying the table, became distracted by the shirtless Alistair when the hunk planted a smooch on her. Another image showed the mum-of-one donning a white mini dress and brown sandals, looking ecstatic as she danced around the garden, her arms up in the air. In a final stunning shot, Emily opted for a floral maxi dress and wore a huge straw woven tote bag over her shoulder. She pinned her blonde locks into a low ponytail and looked out onto the stunning green landscape. Loving every moment of her rustic getaway, Emily gushed: 'I love you, I'm glad I exist' followed by a peach emoji. The actress has known Alistair for almost three decades as her mother is the sister of Alistair's stepmother Jane Garner. They were introduced after Emily's aunt started dating Alistair's father Stephen Garner in the early nighties before they got married in 1994. Writing in her 2019 autobiography Are We There Yet?, Emily gave clues as to why she's ended up in a relationship with Alistair, 38, because her cousins 'understand each other on a deep level.' She says: 'Cousins are the best invention since the Game Boy. They are basically 50 per cent sibling, 50 per cent mate. You look the same but different... 'You understand each other on a deep, deep, level and you have a smidgen more social etiquette towards them than your brother or sister... 'It makes me sad for my friends who don't have that relationship with their cousins, because mine were the best friends I ever had. They are still my best friends to this day.' Emily rarely comments on her private life but has now admitted that she feels as if she has 'won the lottery' with the little one, and added that she couldn't have gone through the 'difficult labour' with anyone but her partner. She told HELLO! magazine last year: 'I couldn't ask for a better partner and Al is the only person on this earth that I could have done this with. 'It was a very difficult birth and after 12 hours of labour I ended up having an emergency caesarean, but he was so calm.' Emily also described Alistair as her 'literal rock' and can not picture her life with anyone else. She added: 'All the cliches of life become true when you fall in love and have a baby. He's my rock, but he really, literally, is my rock; I couldn't do life with anyone else but him.' She explained that they had hoped to have a family of their own after a year of dating and discovered her pregnancy in November 2023 when she realised she had missed a period. She told The Times: '[Alistair] joked, "Let's buy a pregnancy test then" We did and I was pregnant. 'It was the happiest, most perfect day of my life. Not long afterwards, he packed all his stuff in a van in Manchester where he lived and arrived at my house.' The actress explained that shortly after this, they bought a house together and Barney conveniently arrived the day after they finished unpacking. Emily has a large number of cousins courtesy of the sprawling families of both her parents, actress Kate and singer father Keith Atack, who split in 2007. Alistair hails from her mother's side, being the stepson of Kate's sister Jane who married his father Stephen Garner, who passed away in the summer of 2023, leaving Emily devastated.
