Tipping Point fans have slammed a red-headed player as a “ginger whinger” after he made a cheeky move during one of his turns.
Host Ben Shephard returned to the helm of the ITV2 show on Thursday (August 3), welcoming four new players all vying to win a huge cash prize.
As the contestants began battling it out on the coin machine, it was Doctor Harry from Exeter that caught viewers’ eye, with one fan dubbing him the cheeky nickname and other saying “he’s not listening” to the host.

After Harry scored a correct answer, he landed a huge lead, but passed one of his counters to rival player Gary, who was trailing behind him.
He then repeated the move, leaving Gary in the dust, and when facing his rapid fire Q&A with Ben, he continually interrupted him, leaving fans irked.
“He’s not listening Ben he just wants to get the counters,” blasted one fan.
