Tipping Point fans were not amused by an “unfunny” question that was dropped into play during the celebrity special on Sunday (August 14).
On the Lucky Stars spin-off programme, host Ben Shephard was joined by Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli, former Coronation street star Catherine Tyldesley and This Morning’s Dr Zoe Williams.
The stars all went head-to-head in hope of scooping up a jackpot prize of £20,000 for their individual chosen charities.

It was Dr Zoe who proved to be luckiest, with machine paying out as she played a blinding game against the other two stars.
After storming into the final, Zoe was faced with a question that fans claimed was supposed to be funny but left many fuming.
She was asked by Ben: “Which breed was voted Britain’s sexiest cow Cow in June 2018?’ and she was given three different breeds to choose from.
After the daytime doctor had chimed in with the wrong answer, Ben explained: “It’s the Jersey cow, they have amazing eye-lashes.”
Many online users were unimpressed with the question selection and took to Twitter to rave about it.
One person raged: “Sexist cow, what the f***?! #TippingPoint
Another commented: “Why are the questions on the celeb version so random? They try to be funny but they really are not. #TippingPoint.”
Whereas a third person tried to see the funny-side and joked: “Ben deffo voted in the British sexiest cow poll. #TippingPoint.”
Meanwhile, the intelligent doctor was successful with fending off her other opponents and landed herself in the final round, with a chance of bagging £20,000 for her charity.
While the machine had paid-out all evening for Zoe, the Jackpot Counter just didn’t want to flip over the edge.
When faced with the choice of gambling for another three attempts to nudge the large silver coin into the winning zone, Zoe decided to play it safe and opted to stick with her £6,7000.
It proved to be the right choice as Ben played out what would have happen had the TV star gambled – showing the coin not moving across the line.
