Viewers of Tipping Point were "reduced to tears” after one contestant made a naming blunder. Bagging £950 in round-one Kathleen from Newcastle accidentally renamed a famous Sherlock actor.
As four contestants competed for the £10,000 jackpot Kathleen dropped a clanger. She was asked which actor’s fans are known as “Cumberbabes”.
Kathleen humorously replied: “Cumberbunt”, and struggled to remember the actor’s first name as host Ben Shephard winced. The contestant had clearly intended to say Benedict Cumberbatch.
