ITV Tipping Point player's 'adorable' answer to Kanye West question

Tipping Point viewers found one of the answers given "adorable" during Wednesday's show.

Ben Shephard welcomed four new players on this edition of the ITV programme. Ivan, Alice, Ian and Rita were testing their wits against each-other to win big money from the arcade-style machine.

Rita, a retired tea shop owner, from Northumberland made it to the final two alongside Ivan. Her answer to one of the questions put to her had viewers talking.

Host Ben asked her: "'College Dropout' and 'Graduation' are albums from which American rapper?" . Rita stumbled before replying: "Jesus".

Ben then told her the correct answer was Kanye West. Rita explained: "I was about to say Jay Z and then..."

Viewers at home loved her response. Taking to Twitter, Carly B said: "She said Yeezus, obviously" before adding: "Seriously though, she is adorable that had me giggling".

AFC Bambos said: "Jesus? Bless Rita", while Llechidcelt said: "Jesus to which rapper... [cry-laughing emojis]". David Grant said: "Jesus an American rapper??"

After a close round, her incorrect answer didn't matter. Rita knocked Ivan out of the game and headed to the final with £1,950.

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