Ben Shephard was moved to witness his guest on Tipping Point, actress Sally Lindsay, burst into tears on this evening’s episode.
Appearing on the celebrity edition of the show, Sally, who famously played Shelley Unwin on Coronation Street, admitted she was feeling emotional after winning the £20,000 jackpot.
Sally’s start to the game was a rocky one, as she failed to land any counters in the coveted drop zone after a string of wrong answers.
However, in the nick of time, her luck started to change and she managed to land the whopping £20,000 prize pot.
Her eyes welling up with tears, she explained the money would mean a lot to her charity of choice – Christmas Dinners.
