Tipping Point were left scratching their heads on Wednesday afternoon as ITV aired another throwback episode of the popular game show.
Host Ben Shephard welcomed four contestants to the famous studio as they battled it out to win the highly sought after cash prizes.
Chris, Sara, Mike and Leanne answered a series of questions to win turns on an arcade-style machine.
Dropping tokens down a choice of four chutes, they each hoped to knock piles of the counters off a moving shelve – the more they collected, the greater the prize fund.
Mike was the first unlucky contestant to be sent packing after failing win any money during the first round of the competition and he was quickly followed by player Sara.
Viewers were quickly distracted by contestant Leanne, who quickly became the front runner in the competition.
One fan tweeted: “Leanne is quite hot!”
Another added: “I hope Leanne wins.”
A cheeky third person gushed: “Leanne an optical consultant. I’ve got something she can take a butchers at.”
While a fourth said: “Leanne an optical consultant. I’ve got something she can take a butchers at.”
Leanne and Chris went head-to-head in an intense round of general knowledge questions in a bid to win counters to play on the machine.
Things didn’t quite go to plan for Leanne during the penultimate round and found herself passing on a few questions to her rival Chris.
Good Morning Britain’s Ben asked the contestant: “Which James Fenimore Cooper novel ends “before the night has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans?”
Leanne admitted that she didn’t know the answer to the question and passed it over to Chris.
The contestant knew the answer was “The Last of the Mohicans” and viewers rushed to their keyboards to point out that the answer was right in front of Leanne.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Answer in the question klaxon.”
Another added: “So f**king obvious.”
