Tipping Point viewers demand big changes after question leave fans angry

Tipping Point viewers are unhappy with the show's declining difficulty levels.

Ben Shephard was back today as he welcomed another three players hoping to win a £10,000 cash prize. As contestants appeared to breeze through the show, viewers were left less than impressed.

In the opening round, Ben asked: "In the nursery rhyme Baa Baa Blacksheep, what is the sheep selling." The odd question sparked outrage on Twitter as viewers declared the show is losing credibility.

The lack of difficult questions has been tempering fans for weeks but many said this was the last straw. One viewer said: "Next week's questions include, 'when blinking your eye closed, what happens next?'"

Another added: "What a stupid penalty pot question, come on ITV."

A final comment said: "Can the producers please work on making the questions harder?"

Another question from today's show was "in math the number ten how many more do you need to make 16". Viewers were quick to condemn this question also as they claimed the show was mocking them.

Another tweet said: "10+6? Is this an actual joke?

Simon was today's top contestant as he played a strong game despite the difficulty level. He walked away with £4,050.
