Ben Shephard has paid tribute to a Tipping Point contestant who passed away before she got to see her episode aired on ITV. Retired bus driver, Cath, from Bolton featured on the show on Wednesday, May 4 and answered questions on musicals and playing cards during the show’s first round..
Taking to Twitter just before the show was aired, presenter Ben wrote: “Today’s Tipping Point is a poignant one… since recording the show, lovely contestant Cath, pictured backstage here, has passed away.”
Cath was playing opposite fellow contestants Mark and Afshad. Despite her best efforts, the Tipping Point machine only dropped three counters during the first round and Cath was in last place out of three.
