Ben Shephard was flabbergasted as Joey Essex achieved an “unbelievable” drop during ITV’s Tipping Point Lucky Stars.
The 30-year-old reality star, who shot to fame on The Only Way Is Essex, floored the presenter and fans watching as he managed to achieve a 17 counter drop.
Joey was playing alongside The Last Leg star Alex Brooker and Emmerdale actor Chris Bisson during tonight’s repeated episode.
He was in last place with £100 in his prize pot, so needed to catch up with Alex who was in second place.
When Joey knocked the staggering amount of counters over the edge of the Tipping Point machine, Ben, Alex and Chris were gobsmacked and the studio audience erupted into cheers and applause.
Soap star Chris exclaimed: “Don’t tell me he’s got 15 on the first go… unbelievable!”

Fans watching went into a frenzy on social media, as one tweeted: “Tipping Point b***dy hell @JoeyEssex_ that was an amazing drop!”
While another wrote: “Come on Joey!”
“Well done Joey!”, penned a third.
Joey’s triumph meant Alex was sent home, so it was just the TOWIE star and soap star Chris in the next round.

Despite his best efforts, Joey didn’t make it through to the next round as, with £3,400, Chris Bisson was the winner.
Chris did incredible well and achieved the jackpot counter, winning £20,000 for charity.
Earlier in the episode, Joey suffered a hilarious blunder which left him accusing Ben Shephard of asking him a question incorrectly.
The question was asking about “Which 2019 film soundtrack beginning with “Charlie” did Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande collaborate on?”

Ben then listed a number of possible answers, including the correct answer, which is of course, Charlie’s Angels.
But Joey, who had the audience in fits of giggles, was left completely perplexed by the question.
Joey said: “Charlie Cha…,” before correcting himself and saying “that can’t be it”.
He was beaten by the clock and Ben revealed that the answer was “Charlie’s Angels.”
Upon hearing this, Joey let out a frustrated: “Agghhh.”
Ben then asked: “Have you heard of it?”
To which reality TV favourite Joey replied: “Of course I’ve heard of it.”
An exasperated Ben then shouted: “Then why didn’t you say it?”
Joey responded: “You were saying Charlie, not Charlie’s weren’t ya?”[sic].
Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV.
