Earlier this week, Ben took to Twitter to share some exciting news with his followers about Tipping Point’s future.

It seems that the show isn’t going anywhere, as applications for the next series are now open!

In a video posted to his social media, Ben said: “Hi there everybody, isn’t it a beautiful day?”

He then introduced Ed, a member of the show’s production team.

“Very excited to tell you that we are planning to start filming a new series of Tipping Point, series 14 – but we need contestants,” he continued.

Viewers fume over contestant’s behaviour

In other Tipping Point-related news, a contestant’s behaviour quickly grated on some viewers.

Last month saw Hugh – a homelessness campaigner from Cardiff – appear on the show.

Hugh managed to bag £3,900 during his stint on the show – however, some viewers didn’t take to him, with some branding him “smug”.

“My name is Hugh and I have a degree in smugness. I try not to show it off too much, though… usually,” one viewer wrote.

Hugh on #TippingPoint is a smug [bleep],” another said.
