Tipping Point host Ben Shephard warned a contestant for “getting into trouble” merely minutes into the show.
The Good Morning Britain star, 47, welcomed Sophie, Nick and Sharon into the ITV studio as they tried their luck at winning the huge 10 grand cash prize.
Ben kicked off the questions by asking the trio: “Known for their long necks, Sauropods were a herbivorous,” before banker Sophie eagerly pressed her buzzer and answered “Giraffe.”

Moving on to the next question, Ben asked: “The food brand Chiquita are most famously known for producing and distributing which famously curved,” as Sophie interjected: “Taco!”
Hanging his head, Ben uttered: “Sophie!,” before she realised: “Oh, I’ve done it again!”
The gameshow host informed the Brighton-born star that he was going to go on to say “curved yellow fruit!,” revealing that the answer was actually bananas.

“I’m just going to calm down for a second now, leave you guys to it,” Sophie chimed.
Picking up on the contestant making the same mistake twice, Ben revealed her enthusiasm was “getting her into trouble.”
He told her: “Sophie, you’re enthusiasm is boundless! Unfortunately it’s getting you into trouble.”
Sophie’s approach didn’t go unnoticed by viewers at home who took to social media to suggest she should “chill out.”

“Sophie. Chill out. You can always go to the nearest arcade and play the game. #Tippingpoint,” penned one.
A second added: “Sophie ffs let Ben finish the question at least #TippingPoint,” as another echoed: “Listen to the f***ing question, Sophie! #TippingPoint.”
A fourth wrote: “Sophie with the worst strategy of all time? #TippingPoint.”
While someone else said: “Sophie needs to calm her t**s bless her #TippingPoint.”
