"Who is looking after Neil if his dad is on Tipping Point," another ITV viewer said. While someone else replied: "Gosh, he actually really does look like him lol."
After being compared to the Inbetweeners character, Tony went on the beat off his fellow players and go through to the final after an intense head-to-head, reports The Mirror. The quick-witted contestant then managed to land the £10,000 jackpot after showing off his impressive trivia skills.

As contestant Harry passed the question to his fellow competitor Dave, who correctly answered Kentucky, Harry blurted: “KFC, I should have got it, yeah.” The surprise comment left Ben in stitches, while Dave knocked down an impressive 11 counters in the giant arcade machine as a result of answering the steal correctly.
