ITV Tipping Point fans 'sad' as they make plea to Ben Shephard

A number of ITV Tipping Point viewers were making the same plea to its producers during Thursday's episode.

Since the new series of Tipping Point began on Monday in the week, avid viewers have been left disappointed with the fact that only three contestants are in the game instead of four. The shakeup is part of celebrations, as the popular quizzing programme celebrates 10 years on air.

Thursday's instalment saw Andrew, Angie and Darien battle it out against the arcade-style machine in a bid to win some cash. But a number of those watching at home couldn't get past the changed format.

Taking to Twitter, Moonraker Mart said: "Why only 3? Where's the 4th player?". R Pittaway said: "HATE the new format. 3 contestants at the start then ALL go through to next round, just c**p! Way too much talking. Will have to find something else to watch".

boundaryblue said: "They need to go back to 4 contestants on #tippingpoint", while Carla Banks said: "Still can't work out why there's only 3 players". Michelle Whyte said: "Still can't get my head round this new format. Please #tippingpoint @benshephard can you switch it back to 4 players, it's actually making me sad".

Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
