Tipping Point contestant leaves fans livid making same blunder three times in a row & even Ben Shephard gasps ‘come on!’
TIPPING Point fans were left aghast as one player made the same blunder three times during a rather unfortunate episode.
Ben Shephard was back on hand to welcome the players as they attempted to win big on the ITV game show.
However, for one of the contestants, Linda, it was not her lucky day as she continually made the same error.
Competing against Andy and Aarti, she appeared to know her stuff at first answering the questions correctly but when it came to placing the counters in the machine, that was a completely different story.
Sadly for Linda, each time she chose to release her counter, she did so when all the other counters below were pressed up against the wall.
This caused all of her counters to land on top of the others, meaning she was unable to get any back out.
Showing her frustration, she declared: “Oh no it’s not a rider again…”
It also seemed that Ben was losing patience with the player as he raged at her: “Oh Linda! Come on, one more.”
When her third and final attempt to land a coin went awry, Ben exclaimed: “Linda! Three riders in a row!”
People were left flabbergasted by Linda’s technique as they questioned if she had ever watched the show before.
One wrote online: “Linda having an absolute mare with timing on her drops. Has she never watched the programme?”
A second angrily said: “Linda what can I say …THAT WAS TOTAL B****X.”
As a third penned: “F***ing timing, Linda! It’s sh**!”
Before a fourth branded her ‘useless’, saying: “Dear god!! Useless.”
