Ben Shephard was aghast at a Tipping Point player's Aintree blunder on today's show.
The 47-year-old presenter welcomed three new players on Wednesday's edition of the popular ITV game show. Aled, Emelia and Tony were testing their wits against one another to win big money from the arcade style machine.
Emelia proceeded to put in a dominant showing and fought off competition to book her place in the final round. The account manager was aiming to bank three tokens in her last move to increase her chances of pushing the jackpot counter over the tipping point.

The final category was sport and revolved around horse-racing. Ben asked: "Which horse-racing venue hosted the Formula 1 British Grand Prix five times from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s."
The options were either "Newmarket, Aintree or Ascot" - and Emelia instinctively thought it was the world-famous L9 racecourse. However, Ben was alarmed when she decided to change her mind and opted for Newmarket.
He said: "You've trusted your gut all the way through and then you've changed your mind with this one."
Emelia was concerned it could be a "bad decision" and the host winced as he confirmed the answer was Aintree. Emelia had built up an impressive £3,500 and decided to take the money home rather than gamble for three more attempts at the £10,000 prize.
