Tipping Point viewers welcomed the return of an old favourite to the contestants’ batch of mystery prizes on Friday’s (September 1) instalment of the ITV gameshow.
Hosted as ever by Ben Shephard, hopeful trio Lydia, Carl and Carol battled it out in the first round aiming to win as much cash as possible, with the bonus of mystery tokens along the way.
And it was Lydia who was the first to benefit – bagging a lawnmower to add to her £350 winnings.
