Quiz show fans look set to be disappointed as Tipping Point will not air on Thursday, July 7. The Ben Shephard-fronted show, which recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, has been replaced in its usual 4pm ITV slot.
Tipping Point is highly regarded among viewers and sees four contestants (three contestants from Series 12) answer questions on the subject of general knowledge to win counters which they use on a large coin pusher arcade-style machine. Only the winner at the end has a chance to take home any money; the others leave with nothing except any non-cash prizes they may have won during the game.
The popular show usually attracts strong ratings and some people will, no doubt, be concerned by its Thursday disappearance. In recent weeks, Tipping Point has aired repeats from the show's past. During an episode broadcast on Wednesday, July 6, a contestant forgot host Ben's name. You can read about that here. But why is Tipping Point not on this Thursday, July 7?
