As the group got to grips with the latest game – which shows famous sayings turned into cartoons for contestants to guess – Stephen found himself slipping up.
Encouraging the gang to make a guess, the encouragement resulted in him accidentally spilling the answer himself.
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 silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said.
Jeremy Vine 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.
Luke Kempner then joked: “I was just thinking ‘this is a very tricky one, if it’s not that!” before declaring Stephen had won himself £200.
“We’ve got a bit of Catchphrase history here!” added Jeremy, poking fun and adding: “Roy Walker never did that.”
Stephen was soon crying with laughter before eventually regaining his composure and continuing with the game.

Hopefully Stephen has learned his lesson – considering the show has already been given the go-ahead for an 11th series.
If the three celebrities can ‘say what they see’ they could get the chance to win £50,000 for their chosen charity.
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.”
It is good news for the star after his other ITV programme, In For A Penny, was shelved after six years.
