Ben Shephard was left standing with a massive cake laden with sparklers on the set of Tipping Point as the show turned 10. But, while there was a good reason to celebrate, the presenter faced criticism from viewers after a big change in format.
There's nothing more many people would rather do at 4pm than settle down on the sofa and watch an episode of the ITV quiz show,. hosted by Good Morning Britain anchor Ben. As well as aiming to answer as many questions correctly as possible, the goal for contestants on Tipping Point is to get their counters to nudge others on the show's notoriously harsh machine off the ledge so they can win big money.
Millions of viewers have seen both members of the public and famous faces try their luck on Tipping Point, with celeb spin-off Lucky Stars also proving a ratings winner. Tipping Point is one of those shows, just like The Chase and BBC1 rival Pointless, that seems to have been on television forever.
