TIPPING Point fans have blasted the show for a ‘scheduling mess’ after spotting something very strange.
The beloved ITV quiz show aired its latest episode on Monday as three brand new contestants appeared.
As usual Ben Shephard was back at the helm as he presented the show.
It sees the hopefuls answer a series of general knowledge questions in the hope of winning counters for a large arcade-style coin machine.
They have the potential to win a jackpot prize of £10,000.
However, as Tipping Point viewers tuned in for their usual helping, they noticed something familiar.
They pointed out how the episode was actually a repeat, leaving them venting.
Taking to social media, one said: “So the #TippingPoint repeats begin again! Happy Monday!”
A second wrote: “How old is this? They’ve been called starburst for ages.”
“What a scheduling mess,” said a third.
While a fourth informed fans: “There’s another #TippingPoint repeat on Wednesday. But on Tuesday and Friday, they’re both brand-new, and on Thursday, it’s a Soccer Aid Celebrity Special – also brand-new.”
Meanwhile, Ben was recently forced to warn a Tipping Point contestant.
Contestant Nicky hoped to take on the machine and come out on top so she could go to Singapore with her husband.
It became clear very early on that she couldn’t quite grasp the timing of when to push the button and release the coin.
Much to Ben’s surprise, her dodgy timing didn’t trip her up, and despite the mismatch, coins kept falling.
