Tipping Point's smug contestant has viewers cringing as she tells the machine to 'come to mummy'

A smug Tipping Point contestant has annoyed viewers after she told the quiz show machine to "come to Mummy." Tina from Birmingham proved to be incredibly lucky and walked away with £2500 at the end of the first round after she had a big drop in round one and even claimed the counters from the penalty pot.

Tina, who had a smug look on her face at the expense of her fellow contestants Heather and Abs, triggered regular Tipping Point fans to take to Twitter as her pot increased with cash. The contestant, who wore a pink top, regularly made comments to both host Ben Shephard and her other contestants.

Her appearance comes lkess than a week after a Tipping Point contestant from Wales had one of luckiest first rounds in the show's history. Customer service adviser Joe was praised for being "jammy" on Twitter. You can read more about that here.

But back to the latest episode on Monday, May 16 and AStacey79 wrote on Twitter of Tina: "Tina, bab, shut the f*** up!!!"

@Batman3983 said: "Someone unplug Tina" while Simon said on Twitter: "Mummy gets the bonus counter". Lance Middlebrooke simply responded: "Tina, love, shut up."

Others, meanwhile, had more sympathy for the Brummie player. Victoria wrote: "If I was Abs and Heather, I'd go home, Tina's home".
