ITV Tipping Point fans notice major contestant change minutes into show

Tipping Point welcomed a celebrity line-up in support of Soccer Aid.

Ben Shephard was back today as he welcomed another round of contestants hoping to win a huge cash prize. Today's contestants were a little more at home than usual as they've all spent a copious amount of time in front of the camera and weren't afraid to let loose.

An impromptu switch up in support of Soccer Aid meant Tipping Point ditched the regular contestants for a celebrity line-up as Ben welcomed a group of football and television stars. In an unusual move, Ben even tweeted out his excitement for today's show.

Former footballer turned television presenter Jeff Brazier joined the show alongside British professional freestyle footballer Liv Cook. A Place In The Sun's Lee Juggurnauth rounded out the team as they all competed to raise money for charity.

Soccer Aid returns this Sunday to help raise money for UNICEF which helps the world's most disadvantaged children. Held at London Stadium, the televised event invites celebrities and personalities alike to go head to head in the world's biggest charity football match.
