Celebrity Catchphrase is a British game show based on the popular game of Catchphrase, where contestants try to guess a well-known phrase or saying from a visual clue. The show, which airs on ITV in the UK, features teams of three celebrities who compete to win money for their chosen charities.

The format of the show consists of three rounds, with the first two rounds featuring two teams competing against each other to win the most money. The final round is a head-to-head between the winning celebrity from each team, with the winner taking on the Super Catchphrase for a chance to win even more money for their charity.

The visual clues in each round can take the form of a simple image, animation, or video clip, with the phrase or saying being related to popular culture or everyday life. The celebrity contestants must buzz in to answer, and the first to do so correctly wins money for their team.

In the first round, each team has a bank of money which decreases each time they get a question wrong. The team with the most money at the end of the round progresses to the next round, and the losing team is eliminated from the game.

The second round follows a similar format, but with a slightly more difficult set of questions for the remaining team. This round also features a bonus Catchphrase, where the team can win additional money by guessing a special phrase or saying.

The final round is the head-to-head, where one celebrity from each team competes to answer as many Catchphrases as possible before the time runs out. The winning celebrity then takes on the Super Catchphrase, which involves guessing a complex phrase or saying by piecing together smaller Catchphrases.

Throughout the show, the host provides comedic commentary and banter with the celebrity contestants. The show also features a scorekeeper who keeps track of the amount of money won by each team and their chosen charities.

Celebrity Catchphrase has proven to be a popular and enduring game show in the UK, with its mix of celebrity guests and simple yet challenging gameplay. The show has showcased a wide range of famous faces from TV, film, music, and sport, including Ant and Dec, Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Scarlett Moffatt, and Amir Khan.

Overall, Celebrity Catchphrase is a lively and entertaining game show that provides plenty of laughs, tense moments, and opportunities for celebrities to show off their general knowledge and quick thinking skills.
