This is the agonising moment an impressionist missed out on a huge £25,000 Celebrity Catchphrase charity prize – but would you have known it?
During the latest series of the show – hosted by Stephen Mulhern – Luke Kempner made it all the way to the Super Catchphrase before falling at the last hurdle.
After breezing through the first couple of catchphrases, Luke took on the starred number 11, in the hope of doubling the money of his co-stars Charlie Hedges and Jeremy Vine.
He secured that relatively easily as well, but things took a turn for the worse when he got to the £25,000 catchphrase.
The scene showed Mr Chips doing sit ups next to an apple core with muscular arms lifting weights.
Luke hesitantly guessed ‘working on his guns’ before struggling to think of anything else.
He said pass and moved onto the only other option on that level, but he ran out of time after also failing to get that one right.
It meant he left the show with £10,000 for Little Lives UK – a charity that empowers disadvantaged children by providing free mental health support and donating devices for education.

Luke also doubled Charlie and Jeremy’s winnings from earlier in the show.
Stephen then revealed what the missing catchphrases had been.
He explained that the gym scene was actually ‘core strength’ as it was an apple core working out.
Earlier in the episode, Stephen was left red-faced after he accidently gave away an answer.
As the clip showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, Stephen declared: ‘Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!’
The contestants then stood in awkward silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said.
Jeremy eventually broke the silence, pressing his buzzer and asking: ‘Sorry, what? Was that the answer?’
Stephen then embarrassingly nodded and burst into fits of laughter alongside the cast and studio audience.
‘I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!’ he admitted.
