Tipping Point presenter Ben Shephard lost his patience during yesterday’s episode, as the ITV host cracked down on a contestant.
In the first round of the competition, player Robin had just one chance left to earn a counter and make it into the second round.
Host Ben asked the all-important question, and without thinking things through, Robin tapped his buzzer – only to get on the presenter’s bad side.
Ben, 45, who has been hosting the show since 2012, quizzed: “Which TV cooking duo presented the 2012 ‘The Hairy Dieters’?”
Desperately needing to get a question right, Robin slammed his buzzer but failed to give Ben a single answer to his question.

Instead, the poor lad grew tongue-tied, and simply asked the host: “The names?”
Having none of it, Ben scolded: “Need your answer!”
Robin then timed out, missing the opportunity to answer the question and make it into the second round with a coveted Tipping Point counter.

A little miffed about the hiccup, Ben then repeated the question, saying: “Which TV cooking duo presented the 2012 ‘The Hairy Dieters: How to love food and lose weight,’ it’s the Hairy Bikers.
“Robin, you didn’t give me an answer. I just needed the Hairy Bikers, Dave and Simon, of course.
“But you didn’t say anything so I’m afraid you got timed out which means we have to steal that last counter from you.”

The three remaining contestants – Bob, Amanda and Vanessa were left to battle it out, with each hoping to take home a tidy sum of money with Ben’s assistance.
Booting the other’s out of the competition, Vanessa nabbed the top prize, gambling with her counters in the grand finale.
Tipping Point airs on weekdays at 4pm on ITV.
