Tipping Point fans all have the same complaint about show’s controversial mystery prize
FANS of Tipping Point were all left saying the same thing as one of the show’s mystery prizes was unveiled just minutes into the show.
During today’s episode, host Ben Shephard welcomed three new hopefuls to take on the mighty drop zones and see if they could walk away with some cash.
Facing the challenge today were Sandy, Temi and Louise but it did not take long before fans watching at home to find fault with an element of the programme.
Within minutes of the episode airing, Ben asked his third question to which Sandy managed to get to his buzzer the quickest and offer up the correct answer.
This allowed Sandy the chance to play on or pass with the actor deciding to play and he had his eyes on drop zone one.
One of the show’s mystery counters was teetering on the edge of the drop zone and Sandy was successful in managing to get the counter over the edge securing himself a prize as well as £150 in counters.
However, viewers watching along at home were left less than impressed at the special prize which was a set of DJ decks.
Whilst reaction was mostly negative online, the unique prize went down a treat in the studio as Ben quipped he would be “DJ Sandy”.
Sandy smiled as he replied: “Ooh, I love that!”
But on Twitter, one viewer claimed had they have won the prize the item would be “straight on eBay”.
The viewer said: “S*** mystery prize going straight on eBay klaxon!”
As a second agreed, adding: “Straight on to eBay mystery prize.”
Another said: “Totally s*** and useless prize klaxon.”
Whilst a fourth fumed: “Rubbish mystery prize.”
Sadly for Sandy, the mystery prize was about all he was walking away with from today’s show as he found himself booted off first for failing to keep up with his fellow knowledgeable players.
Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
