Tipping Point big win sends packed pub wild - leaving Ben Shephard in hysterics

This hilarious video shows the moment a packed pub erupts into joyous celebration as a contestant wins big on TV game show Tipping Point.

It seems that every drinker in the Hatfield House Bar was engrossed in the ITV game show and they were on the edge of their seats as a player named John was on the verge of winning £10,000.

TikTok user Danny McElvanna, @dannymcelvanna, managed to capture some footage of the scene, just as John secures the win and the whole pub explodes - with cheering emerging coming from every corner.

And even host Ben Shephard was left in stitches when he was shown the clip on Good Morning Britain, adding "I think we need to go there for a pint!"

What do you think about the celebration? Let us know in the comments...

In the clip, punters in the pub in Belfast, Ireland, are clearly feeling the tension as contestant John answers questions to earn counters, which are then placed into a giant coin pusher.

People begin shouting “go on” at the pub’s TV, and a small cheer can be heard as a few coins fall over the sides - but that's nothing compared to what's to come.

John's luck continues as the jackpot counter - a gold coin with a red star- then falls over the side, and the whole pub erupts.

In scenes resembling the Hyde Park celebration when England scored a goal in the World Cup, people can be seen jumping in the air, cheering, as drinks struggle to stay in their glasses.

Danny's video has been viewed over 485,000 times and had over a thousand comments, mostly from people blown away by the footage.

One said: "This is Tipping Point heritage."

Then a second added: "Phenomenal."

And a third wrote: "This country is unreal."

"You will never see anything like this again," commented another TikTok user. "So watch it, breath it in."

Soon the popularity of the clip spread beyond social media and Good Morning Britain's Richard Arnold shared the clip with Tipping Point host Ben Shephard.

Watching the clip, he said "I got sent that yesterday from Danny's TikTok account and I'm not on TikTok and someone said, 'Ben have you watched this?'

"I think it's a pub called the Hatfield in Belfast and all the students get together, I think they watch Tipping Point and then they watch The Chase and they have a big event.

"But then what better way to celebrate a jackpot than with a pint? I think we need to go there for a pint!"
