Jeremy Vine was left completely baffled by a tricky question on Celebrity Catchphrase that took him FOUR tries to answer correctly.
While the premise of the show itself is simple - 'say what you see' in the graphics, the game is nowhere near as easy as it sounds.
Jeremy, 60, was left scrunching up his face in confusion when he was presented with an image of a chocolate cake that contained an image of gates in the clouds.
Hazarding a guess to host Steven Mulhern, Jeremy said 'pearly gates' for his first try, but he was wrong.
Seconds later, he guessed 'Black Forest gateau' but this was also incorrect.
In a bid to help him out, Stephen, 48, said: 'She could be happier... oh, I've got my...'

This prompted the typically quick-witted host to say 'heavenly cake', but this still wasn't the right answer.
Stephen went on to subtly try and help Jeremy out again by saying 'heaven is in the phrase' and added 'she's in her happy place.'
Would this be enough for you to guess the right answer?
Mercifully, it was enough for Jeremy to finally get it right and he said 'a slice of Heaven'.
He was then applauded by his fellow celebs, BBC Radio One DJ Charlie Hedges and comedian and actor Luke Kempnern, for persevering.
In this episode, it was Luke who managed to get to the Super Catchphrase round, ultimately winning a cool £16,200 for the charity Little Lives UK.
Needless to say, Jeremy is not the only celeb to have recently been left scratching their head on the show.
Comedian Joe Lycett was left flummoxed by a riddle he claimed he 'never would have got' on Celebrity Catchphrase.

Celebrity Catchphrase stumps EastEnders legend with tricky riddles - but can YOU crack the clues?
The big screen lit up to show the clue, while Stephen threw out some wild guesses, including 'angry countries' and, in a moment of desperation, 'friggy diggy'.
As you can see now, although the game's premise is simple, finding the correct answer can often be challenging.
So can YOU figure it out within the time limit?
The answer was 'cross-country running'.
Three cartoon characters with different national flags - of Italy, America and France - ran angrily across the screen to make the clue.
But when host Stephen Mulhern revealed the solution, Joe, 37, immediately admitted: 'I never would have got that.'
Nonetheless, despite struggling with this question, Joe walked away with an impressive £32,000 for his chosen charity, the Tamworth Wellbeing & Cancer Support Centre after progressing to the Super Catchphrase round.
