Ben Shephard wasn't having any dilly-dallying on Tipping Point as he called out a contestant for being 'too slow'. During an episode, the ITV game show saw Ben, 45, get a tad irked when player Robin hesitated too long after buzzing in. With only one shot left to secure a counter and progress to the next stage, tension was high.
Ben posed the crucial question: "Which TV cooking duo presented the 2012 'The Hairy Dieters'?" Robin, eager to answer correctly, hit his buzzer prematurely and ended up drawing a blank, much to Ben's frustration. Ben, who has been at the helm of Tipping Point since its inception in 2012, pressed him: "Need your answer!" But time ran out for Robin, who lost his chance to respond and earn that all-important counter. Ben, slightly annoyed by the blunder, reiterated the question for clarity: "Which TV cooking duo presented the 2012 'The Hairy Dieters: How to love food and lose weight,' it's the Hairy Bikers." He then pointed out Robin's error: "Robin, you didn't give me an answer.
I just needed the Hairy Bikers, Dave and Simon, of course. But you didn't say anything so I'm afraid you got timed out which means we have to steal that last counter from you." The final three contestants Bob, Amanda and Vanessa were left to fight for the top prize, each hoping to win a substantial amount of money with Ben's help. Vanessa outplayed the others and took home the jackpot after taking a risk with her counters in the grand finale of the episode that aired in July 2020.
