Tipping Point contestant makes 'history' by breaking show record

A Tipping Point contestant made "history" on the ITV game show this week as she broke a record by banking the highest amount in her prize pot in the first round. Host Ben Shephard revealed the news to player Torah, who was competing alongside Lynda and Sati, and left her speechless.

Contestant Lynda was quick off the mark during the episode. In round one she answered a question correctly on the film franchise Star Wars. But being the first player on the machine, she didn't manage to collect any money and it was Hull carer, Torah, who had luck on her side.

Torah made the biggest impact during the show when she answered a question correctly about Billy Rae Cyrus' hit Achy Breaky Heart and asked for her counter to be used in drop zone four. She was then rewarded with a whopping total of 17 counters and banked £850. She unfortunately lost her second counter after answering a question incorrectly but when using her final counter of the round, Torah bagged another £100.
