ITV's Tipping Point fans blast contestant for 'worst answer in show's history'

A contestant on Tipping Point was blasted by viewers for giving the 'worst answer ever' on the ITV quiz show.

Host Ben Shephard, 47, asked visibly nervous English teacher, Kendelle, who the ruling British monarch was when Tony Blair was Prime Minister.

Hesitating slightly, she replied: "Erm, Queen Victoria?"

The Good Morning Britain presenter couldn't hide his amusement before he gave the teacher the correct answer of Queen Elizabeth ll.

Viewers at home couldn't believe what they were watching.

Taking to Twitter to roast the contestant, one said: ""Queen Victoria? That’s up there with the worst answers on #TippingPoint."

Another added: "I can't believe she thought Tony Blair was PM when Queen Victoria was on the throne #TippingPoint."

While a third asked: "Am I dreaming? Did she really say Queen Victoria #tippingpoint."

The ITV quiz show sees four contestants take on the Tipping Point machine to try and win as much money as possible.

However after her royal blunder, Kendelle was eventually knocked out in the second round.

Her team mates, Johnny and David then went head-to-head in the third round.

It was Johnny who proved victorious, however rather than go for big money he chose to take home £2,900 instead of risking it all in the hope of bagging £10,000.

It's not the first time Tipping Point has provoked a reaction on social media.

Last month fans couldn't get over how hot one of the contestants was.

While viewers tuned in to watch the drama unfold on the popular programme, they found themselves swooning at a hunky dad-of-two from Somerset.

Terry's get up was also a talking point amongst eagle-eyed fans, who reckoned he was channeling 'army chic'.

The chirpy locksmith rocked a khaki green short sleeved t-shirt, which showcased his muscles a treat.

Taking to Twitter to share their reaction, one viewer gushed: "Terry is a bit of me, he's sooooooo hot #tippingpoint."

"Oh my GOD!!! Terry on Tipping Point is my dream man! Look at his arms #tippingpoint," another echoed.

While a third joked: "Didn't know Tipping Point was hiring models to come on and play. Terry is way too hot for this show."

Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV.
