Tipping Point viewers were left hot under the collar on Tuesday night as contestant Ella apparently broke a show record.
Host Ben Shephard welcomed four contestants to the famous ITV studio as they battled it out to win the highly sought after cash prizes.
Kaye, Lee, Ellie and Peter 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.
Contestant Ellie quickly distracted viewers from the quiz show with her looks.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Hello Ella” alongside a series of heart-eyed emojis.

Another added: “I wouldn’t mind a night on the tiles with Ellie.”
While a third social media user wrote: “Wow Elle!”
A fourth person posted: “Ella” with a red love emoji.
However, the contestant proved that she had the brains as well as the beauty as she made her way through the tough quiz show.
Things took a surprising turn for Ellie as she managed to knock a whooping 21 counters over the tipping point in a single try during an intense round of the ITV show.

She also pushed the double counter over the edge, with viewers branding the moment the “biggest drop ever”.
One fan tweeted: “You know your lockdown has become that boring when a 21 drop with a doubler on Tipping Point gets you overly excited.”
A second person posted: “21 with the double is that the biggest drop ever?”
A third shocked viewer wrote: “That is the most exciting thing I’ve seen on television all week. 21 coins with a double.”

While a fourth person pointed out: “I mean, 21 counters and the double. Too much excitement in one day.”
Ellie unsurprisingly was the lucky contestant who made it through to the final round.
GMB host Ben congratulated the player on winning a whooping £2,900 during the first three rounds and went on to ask her about her occupation as a roofer.
She explained: “I’ve been doing that nearly two years. I’ve had a lot of jobs but I stumbled on this one.
“There’s loads of Terrifying heights and bacon sandwiches.
“I work with my brother’s and I love it.”
Despite putting on a brilliant display in the final round, Ellie didn’t manage to win the £10,000 jackpot.
Instead the contestant left the competition with £3,450 in her pocket.
Tipping Point airs weekdays on ITV at 4pm
