Twitter erupts as Tipping Point contestant gets five out of six answers wrong in the final

Even host Ben Shephard couldn't help but laugh!

Twitter erupted after today’s Tipping Point (February 25) after a contestant called Ben got five out of six answers wrong in the final round.

Ben didn’t do badly in the rounds leading up to the Tipping Point final, amassing £2,900 to take through to the final.

However, it was there that it all started to unravel – much to the delight of viewers at home, and even host Ben Shephard, who was seen giggling at some of Ben’s answers.

The answer did little to save him from becoming the butt of the jokes on Twitter, though.

And it meant that he also wasn’t emigrating to Canada with the £10,000 jackpot in his pocket.

Others had Ben’s back though and agreed they wouldn’t have got the questions right either.

Others found a bright side to Ben’s game.

“It’s a good job he banked so much throughout the show because he done terrible in the final,” one viewer tweeted.

“Kind of laughing at the tweets but Ben did go with £3,150,” another commented.
