Tipping Points Ben Shephard calls out guest after major mistake

On Monday's instalment of Tipping Point, host Ben Shephard met three contestants who were all hopeful to walk away with some cash

Tipping Point presenter Ben Shephard wasted no time in highlighting where one contestant went wrong on the ITV game show.

After the initial round, it was time for each player to see how many questions they could answer correctly within 45 seconds.

Each answer they got right would earn them an extra counter to enter into the machine, which gave them more opportunities to get money into their personal cash pot.

When it was time for Joanna's turn, it was clear the contestant was struggling when trying to answer.

With the time ticking down, Ben asked: "Which brand of toy race car was invented when Fred Francis added an electric engine to Scalex tin cars?"

Telling her the answer was Scalextric, Joanna replied: "I've gone blank and that's my favourite game."

Although the ITV host was quick to point out she took too long answering the questions being thrown at her.

He said: "Oh Joanna! Joanna, you were taking a long time to think about those answers, very considered. Not always the best thing when you're under time pressure."

During her 45 seconds, Joanna answered the first incorrectly, passed on two questions and earned herself two counters to put into the machine.

With no money in her account, Ben told the contestant she needed to get 15 counters in total to catch up to the other players.

Sadly, only three fell and she was given 150, which landed her in last place and made her the first person to leave the show.

After a successful round, contestant Neil managed to earn a total of 4,450.

The jackpot counter was close to falling over the edge of the tipping point, with Ben offering a trade.

However, he decided to decline the trade and take home the amount he earned.

Playing out the three counters, as if he had taken up the offer, Neil was disheartened to learn the huge 10,000 jackpot would've been his in one go.

Tipping Point continues weekdays on ITV from 4pm.
