Tipping Point fans were baffled to see a player wearing his summertime wardrobe on the programme.
Contestant Martyn turned up to meet Ben Shephard, 47, on the gameshow donning an army green t-shirt, brown shorts that finished at his knee and a pair of trainers.
Fans on Twitter were confused over his holiday-like attire and took to their keyboards to air their thoughts.
“Martyn might as well be wearing flip-flops,” joked one person.
A second online user quipped: “Martyn must have cut his staycation short to make it on time.”
“Shorts Martyn?” wrote a third.
While a fourth added: “Great day for Martyn but no money to buy a pair of trousers.”
Sadly for Martyn, he didn’t prove to be very fortunate and was struck off – with players Hollie, Pip and Jason all having stronger starts to their game.
Eventually, Hollie proved to be no match for Pip and Jason who were on form with answering questions.
Pip and Jason went head-to-head in a tense round, battling hard for a chance at bagging the top prize of £10,000.
It was however Pip who came up trumps and proved to be triumphant with her strategy as well as sound general knowledge.
In the final round, Pip put on a good show answering many questions correctly and moving the famous Jackpot Counter over the first hurdle.
Although she’d answered a number of questions correctly, the machine just didn’t seem to want to play ball today.
At the end of her questions, Pip was asked if she’d like to gamble her £2,900 winnings for a chance at tipping the silver Jackpot Counter over the edge.
Pip toyed with the idea before answering host Ben: “That money would go nicely in our Antarctica pot. I’m going to take the money please Ben.”
Ben explained that they would play out the scenario anyway to see if Pip had made the correct choice.
After three coins had been player, the £10,000 counter had not even budged an inch, proving that Pip had chosen correctly.
Realising taking the money was the right thing to do, she told the Good Morning Britain host: “I’m feeling wonderful and relieved now.”
Tipping Point returns to screens tomorrow at 4pm on ITV.
