Ben Shephard says the silliest answers on his quiz Tipping Point come from being under pressure and he insists he “makes a fool of himself regularly” in moments which end up on the cutting room floor.
Tipping Point celebrates 10 years on ITV with a new series starting next week and is possibly best known for when host Ben asked a primary teacher called Dom: “In his epic poems, Homer often refers to the nectar as the drink of the gods and which other substance as their food?”
Dom replied: “I know he likes doughnuts,” with Ben looking flabbergasted by the answer. “I think I’ll go with doughnuts please, Ben.”
