Celebrity Catchphrase host Stephen Mulhern was left red-faced after making the ultimate slip-up on Saturday’s episode of the show.
The host, 48, showed a clip of the latest guess the catchphrase question which featured a coffee shop with rapidly increasing prices.
As guests Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner watched on as the prices continued to increase through the coffee shop roof, the host failed to give them the opportunity to answer.
Stephen said: ‘Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!’
A hilariously awkward silence then fell over the studio when Stephen realised what he had done.

A hilariously awkward silence then fell over the studio when Stephen realised what he had done
The host showed a clip of the latest guess the catchphrase question which featured a coffee shop with rapidly increasing prices, then said: ‘Literally the prices have gone through the roof!’
Then Jeremy, 60, jokingly pressed his buzzer and said: ‘Sorry, what? Was that the answer?’
Stephen, who was clearly in disbelief at his mistake, proceeded to nod before the studio, celebs and audience burst into laughter.
He admitted: ‘I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!’
Luke Kempner joked: ‘I was just thinking ‘this is a very tricky one, if it’s not that!’
He then noted that the host had just bagged himself £200 for a charity of his choice.
‘We’ve got a bit of Catchphrase history here!’ Jeremy added before joking of the host’s predecessor: ‘Roy Walker never did that.’
Stephen then managed to get his professional hat back on after the fail and proceeded with the game, which sees celebs try to win up to £50,000 for a charity of their choice.
The show has proven so popular that it has just had the go-ahead for its 11th season, despite other cuts being made to rival shows on mainstream television.
Luke Kempner joked: ‘I was just thinking ‘this is a very tricky one, if it’s not that!’
This has affected Stephen, whose other show, In For A Penny, was given the axe after six years.
ITV commissioner Gemma John-Lewis said: ‘We’re delighted to announce a further series of the much-loved family favourite, Celebrity Catchphrase.
‘The only show where you say what you see, the hugely popular series continues to win legions of fans and with Stephen’s infectious and playful humour it’s a firm favourite with our viewers.’
The show first hit screens back in March 2018 and has featured many big-name contestants including Kelly Osbourne and Anton du Beke.
Celebrity Catchphrase’s predecessor, simply known as Catchphrase, first aired way back in 1985 when it was presented by Roy Walker.
The show ran on and off until 2013 when it was revived by Stephen Mulhern.
