Tipping Point viewers 'switch off' as they deem episode to be 'unfair'

Saturday evening's episode of Tipping Point Lucky Stars was not short of controversy. Viewers switched off less than half way through the episode after branding the episode as 'unfair.'

With Tipping Point Lucky Stars a host of celebrities take on the hit arcade game. This time host Ben Shephard Jordan Banjo, Roisin Conaty and Chris Bavin who were trying to win money for their chosen charity.

Jordan and Chris work together outside of the show as they co-host BBC's Eat Well for Less. That is because Chris only recently replaced Greg Wallace on the show, reports the Echo.

During the show Rosin got off to a flyer as she got the correct answers all over the show. However sadly for the comedian they failed to get the cash out of the machine despite all of the correct answers.

One tense moment showed her dropping the counter into the machine at the wrong time, leaving Ben gutted as her counter landed on top of another counter and became useless - otherwise known as a 'rider'.

An exasperated Ben cried out: "Oh my days, this is so stressful" before begging the machine: "Please can you get some money for Roisin, please!"

Fans were loving Roisin's banter, as she took it on the chin, with one viewer even calling her the "best contestant ever". And just when it looked like all hope was lost, she managed to bag an impressive £800 with one counter.

Sadly for Roisin, Chris and Jordan stormed ahead and she was sent home. A number of fans at home voiced their disappointment with how the programme had played out.

Taking to Twitter, Steff said: "Switching off now Roisin has gone". 8BallZen said: "Those counters! Ugh poor Roisin", while Carmel said: "Unfair or what? She was actually really good".

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