MATCH REPORT: Poland exit Euros despite first ever tournament win
Celebrity Catchphrase finalist Nadine Coyle walked away with £30,000 for charity on the latest series of the ITV show. The Girls Aloud member had been just one correct answer away from a jackpot of more than £50,000, though.
Nadine, 40, competed on the game show, which is hosted by Stephen Mulhern, 48, in an episode that aired earlier in the new series. She made it through to the final round after banking more money than TV presenter Rick Edwards and EastEnders actor Jake Wood in the previous rounds.
She took part in raising money for the Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal, which is part of the Christie Charity. It’s named in memory of her late bandmate Sarah Harding, who died, aged 39, in 2021, just a year after announcing that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
After banking £5,000 earlier in the episode, which debuted in April, Nadine managed to add £30,000 to her winnings for the charity in the final round. She however ran out of time whilst trying to name the final catchphrase, which would have taken her prize fund up to £55,000 had she got it right.
The catchphrase began by showing a pair of legs, which had a road covered in cars, travelling down a running track in an arena. Mr Chips was then shown running past and reaching the finish line first, indicating that he had won instead.
Nadine had 15 seconds left when the catchphrase first played, after four correct answers and one pass earlier in the round. She made a series of guesses as she tried to secure the maximum £50,000 for getting to the top of the pyramind.
As the final video played, Nadine guessed: “Runway … um … pass … running past the runway … running free … winning the runway.” After a close-up of the cars was shown, she said during the last few seconds of the round: “Bumper to bumper.”
After the countdown ended, Stephen confirmed that she had won £25,000 in that round alone. He told her: “I am more over the moon than you could ever imagine. That was incredible.” The host went on to reveal the correct answer.
He shared: “It wasn’t a runway. He’s beating the traffic.” Nadine responded by saying: “Oh, beating the traffic.” Stephen however encouraged her to focus on the fact that she had won a significant prize fund for her charity.
Stephen said: “That moment has now gone. Let’s think of happy thoughts, because, Nadine, you’re talking away the £5,000 that you banked earlier on, now that £25,000 – which takes your total prize money, an incredible amount, to £30,000.”
It was also announced that because she had correctly named the star catchphrase, placed in the middle of the pyramid, that she had doubled the winnings of her former rivals. It meant that Jake and Rick won £3,400 and £9,400 respectively for their charities.

Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State has attributed the growing security challenges in the state to the activities of informants and the inadequate presence of security personnel.
He made this known during a condolence visit to Zogirma community in Bunza Local Government Area, where three mobile policemen were recently killed by armed assailants.
According to the governor, the attackers were not Lakurawa or known bandits, but criminals allegedly invited by informants within the community.

“Those who killed the policemen are not Lakurawa or bandits. They are thieves invited by informants to steal the money we gave to the victims of the windstorm disaster,” he said.
Governor Idris also revealed plans by his administration to propose an executive bill to criminalize the act of aiding criminals through information sharing.
“We are going to sponsor an executive bill that will make it a serious offense for anyone to serve as an informant. If found guilty, such a person may face the death penalty,” he warned.
He stressed that his government would not tolerate any threats to the peace and stability of the state.
Wimbledon 2025
Venue: All England Club Dates: 30 June-13 July
If history has taught us anything about Iga Swiatek, it is that once she breaks her opponent’s serve a dominant victory is on the cards.
That is what happened in Saturday’s Wimbledon final as she claimed the title for the first time with a ruthless 57-minute 6-0 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova.
It was undoubtedly tough on the American, but she is not alone in being on the receiving end of such a result.
In 2021 Swiatek beat former world number one Karolina Pliskova by the same scoreline in the Italian Open final.
This year alone, 12 players have lost a set 6-0 to Swiatek, including Dayana Yastremska (twice), Emma Raducanu, Belinda Bencic and Victoria Azarenka.
At January’s Australian Open, Swiatek registered 6-0 sets in three of her first four matches – and now those same scorelines are appearing on the grass courts.
“Coming here, I could really focus on getting better and developing as a player rather than everybody just asking me to win,” Poland’s Swiatek said.
The rarity of a 6-0 6-0 scoreline in a final underlines Swiatek’s dominance.
This is the first 6-0 6-0 win in a Grand Slam final since Steffi Graff beat Natasha Zvereva in just 34 minutes at the 1988 French Open.
It is the first time it has been done in a Wimbledon final in the Open era, which is when tennis became professional. In 1911, Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby by the same scoreline – but that was in the challenge match era, where the defending champion played just once.
Swiatek is also just the fourth player in the Open era to win the first set of the Wimbledon women’s singles final with a 6-0 scoreline after Billie Jean King (1973, 1975), Chris Evert (1974) and Martina Navratilova (1983).
Swiatek broke to love in the very first game of the match and it was clear she was in clinical form as Anisimova struggled with nerves.
Eighth seed Swiatek did not face a single break point, won 21 of 29 points on her first serve and five out of eight on her second.
Swiatek was helped along the way by the mistakes Anisimova made as the pressure of playing in a first Grand Slam final told.
The American made 28 unforced errors compared with just 11 for Swiatek and double-faulted five times.
Anisimova said after the match her serve is something she can work on.
“I’ve struggled with my serve, as most people probably can tell by the looks of it and the statistics,” she said.
Anisimova hit 41 double faults over the two weeks at Wimbledon – 17 more than any other player in the women’s singles draw.
In tennis a 6-0 scoreline is nicknamed a bagel, while a 6-1 win is a breadstick.
Swiatek wins so many sets by those scorelines that in the past few years, fans have nicknamed those results ‘Iga’s bakery’.
She has won 32 sets by a 6-0 scoreline in Grand Slam matches, with three of those coming at Wimbledon this year.
That doubled her tally from all her previous matches at the Championships, emphasising her improvement on grass.
“I think winning on the grass is proving that she can win on every surface,” former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“It gives her that new platform in her career because for a very long time she was seen as only a clay-court player.
Crystal Palace have been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League by UEFA for a breach of multi-club ownership rules, European football’s governing body confirmed on Friday.
US businessman John Textor owns a stake in the Eagles and is the majority owner of French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League.
Under UEFA multi-club ownership rules, Lyon have been allowed to keep their place in the second-tier competition of European football as they finished higher in Ligue 1 (6th) than Palace (12th) in the Premier League last season.
Palace qualified for European competition for the first time by winning the FA Cup in May – the club’s first ever major trophy.
Textor has since agreed to sell his 43 percent stake in the London club to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.
However, that deal is yet to be completed and was struck well after UEFA’s deadline of March 1 for multi-club conflicts to be resolved.
A decision on Palace’s fate had been delayed by a separate case that initially saw Lyon relegated to the second tier of French football due to financial problems.
The seven-time French champions won an appeal against that decision on Wednesday after Textor stood aside from the day-to-day running of the club.
Palace are expected to appeal the verdict to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Parish told Sky Sports: “We are obviously devastated, most importantly for the supporters. Supporters of all clubs should be devastated for it.
“It is a bad day for football,” Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish declared.
“Most right-minded football fans will see what a terrible injustice this is for the football club and one that I hope someone can remedy because I do believe that nobody in football wants to see this – I don’t think UEFA want to see it,” he told Sky Sports.
