ITV cancels Tipping Point in schedule shake-up

ITV show Tipping Point has been cancelled today in a big schedule shake-up.

Host Ben Shephard accompanies four hopefuls as they take on a larger than life version of the old school coin fall machine in the hopes of winning more than just a couple of pounds. With multiple rounds, contestants must answer questions correctly in order to drop a coin and if it falls successfully, their cash prize rises.

The show celebrates its 10 year anniversary this year after launching on ITV back in 2012. Since then, the Tipping Point has gone on to produce a celebrity spin-off, Lucky Stars, featuring the likes of I'm A Celeb winner Joe Swash and Loose Women 's Denise Welch.

ITV has begun rolling out its coverage live from Aintree racetrack in preparations for the Grand National this Saturday. Due to this, Tipping Point will be taken off the air today in order to accommodate the event.

Sports broadcasters Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani will be preventing several hours worth of content, featuring five races including the 2.55 Betway Bowl and 3.30 Aintree Hurdle.

The Grand National celebrations take place over several days with the main race taking place April 9 at 5:15pm. Other notable moments from the weekend include Ladies Day on Friday.
