A Tipping Point contestant has left viewers across Scotland speechless - for all the wrong reasons.
Lorraine made an unforgivable blunder during the quiz show which left Scots in disbelief on Tuesday evening, reports Edinburgh Live. Ben Shephard, the host of the show, asked contestants in which Scottish city you would find the famous Sauchiehall Street?"
Fans of the show north of the border sunk back into their chairs, confident that Lorraine had this answer in the bag. However, she quickly replied: "Edinburgh."
This was, of course, the incorrect answer as Ben informed Lorraine the correct city was Glasgow. Sauchiehall Street is one of the main shopping streets in the city centre, is over 1.5 miles in length - and is definitely not in the capital.
Viewers in both of Scotland's biggest cities were been left baffled by what we thought would have been an easy question. Thankfully, despite the slip-up, Lorraine made it through to the next round of the quiz show with fellow contestant Jim.
Lorraine had just become a grandmother for the second time and doted on her four-and-a-half-year-old and four-week-old grandchildren during the show.
The grandmother made it further through the show after the daft blunder but was put out before the final round with £1300 in the bank which she, unfortunately, didn't go home with.
Fellow contestant Jim later added another 12 counters, leaving him uncatchable for runner-up Lorraine. He then took his spot in the final and went home with £3100.
The three contestants were all vying to win £10k in the coin machine as they took their chance against a series of trivia questions.
The new series of the Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4.00 pm on STV, followed by The Chase.
