ITV Tipping Point viewers startled by contestant's famous witch alter ego

Tipping Point viewers were taken back by a contestant's villainous laugh as she reminded them of famous witches.

Ben Shephard was back today as he welcomed another three players hoping to win a £10,000 cash prize. Despite the first seven counters failing to bring in any money, contestant Yvonne's cheerful laugh caught the ear of viewers.

The show's Twitter hashtag blew up with endless gifs of who Yvonne reminded fans of. The comparisons were due to her laugh being similar to multiple Hollywood witches and villains.

Some gifs showed Snow White's Evil Queen as others displayed The Wizard of Oz's Wicked Witch. Fans were quick to show their adoration for the chuckle, as one tweet said, "Yvonne's laugh! #tippingpoint", followed by laughing emojis.

One viewer even noticed, combined with her bright ginger hair and tone, that she was the double of Winnifred Sanders from Hocus Pocus. The tweet said: "I thought I recognised that laugh... #tippingpoint." The comment was accompanied by a gif of Winifred to draw comparisons between the two.

Yvonne ended up going all the way in today's show as she managed to dominate the other contestants. In the final round, she walked away with £3,450.
