Tipping Point host claims player was ‘miles away’ after getting answer ridiculously wrong

Tipping Point host Ben Shepherd poked fun at a player after she got a question terribly wrong.

The contestant in question was Georgia, a paramedic, from Dorset, who was given the boot in the second round.

In her quick-fire round, she only scored one point after getting a slew of questions wrong.

Though one that tickled Ben was when he asked her what type of animals Dasher and Dancer were, and she replied with “‘ Dog “.

After her dreadful round, Ben told the player her score but she didn’t seem to acknowledge him.

Ben then said: “You’re still miles away, you’re still beating yourself about calling Dasher and Dancer dogs, aren’t you?”

She gasped: “Oh sorry!” as she realised she had blanked Ben.

ITV viewers took to social media to comment on the blunder, with one writing: “Dasher and dancer are dogs #TippingPoint”

A second then added: “She’s so thick that Ben no longer has Georgia on His Mind. #tippingpoint”

While a third penned: “These questions are all before her time.FIX. #TippingPoint”

“What an idiot #tippingpoint,” a fourth posted.

A fifth put: “Ok Georgia has really bugged me on #tippingpoint why did she even bother trying, she should have accepted defeat gracefully so at least the others had a chance of getting more money…”

“Oh gawd Georgia” another typed.

This comes after viewers were left fuming at a contestant’s “stupid” mistake on a previous episode.

On Wednesday (August 9), Simon from Lancashire whipped viewers into a frenzy with his rather strange tactic.

After getting a question correct, he passed one counter over to Fay, who dropped it in zone 3.

However, it ended up moving nine counters off the shelf – including a double counter – and fans of theo show revelled as Jennie gained a huge prize pot.

Simon ended up finishing behind Faye with only £500 in his prize pot.

One viewer sarcastically said: “Simon says ‘pass’.”

A second added: “Simon, you wazzock!”

“What on earth is Simon playing at?” another penned.

A fourth posted: “Well that backfired spectacularly Simon!”

Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV
