This comes as it emerged ITV will be broadcasting coverage of the funeral on every one of its channels next Monday, as the government declared a state funeral and bank holiday.
ITV have never done a broadcast where all of its channels have been showing the same programme. Essentially, anything else will not be shown on ITV on the day of the funeral including the quiz shows.
Last week Tipping Point host Ben Shephard has branded a near record breaking drop as “sensational” after a player landed £2k in one drop.

As actor Jake from Essex took on the machine after scoring three counters in his Q&A, he stunned the entire studio after dropping 10 counters and a double counter, making his winnings a staggering £2k on his very first drop.
After landed the near record-breaking drop, Ben told him: “Wow! You were just one counter off the record as well!
“20 counters with the double so you very nearly beat the Tipping Point record, that’s a big drop, it rarely happens, well done!”
