ITV Catchphrase fans in stitches over 'banana' picture

The players did their best to guess the well-known catchphrases related to the graphics shown, in a bid to win some cash for charities close to their hearts.

One of Alex's answers had fans in stitches.

An image showed two green beans - one a bride, the other a groom.

An arrow pointed to the male bean.

Vicky guessed "groom bean", which was incorrect.

As time hurried on, Stephen tried to help the celebs. He said: "It's a famous TV and it's a film."

Alex quickly guessed: "Banana man!"

The audience burst into laughter, as Stephen asked: "What the hell?"

Alex explained: "It's a famous TV show, he's a geezer, it's a banana."

Stephen said: "That's not a banana! It's a bean!"

Viewers clearly loved his answer.

Taking to Twitter, Carly B said: "Hahahaha he did not say Banana Man #Catchphrase", to which a viewer called Gemma replied: "He did!"

Boozle24 said: "I thought it was a banana too!"

Sazzyness said: "Can't blame Alex for thinking they were bananas, I thought they were pea pods!"

Rachel Smyth said: "Not having it that he's just shouted banana man [cry-laughing emoji].

Catchphrase airs Saturdays at 6pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
