Tipping Point fans accusing show of being ‘fixed’ convinced they’ve finally solved truth behind ITV machine
FANS of Tipping Point who have accused the ITV show of being 'fixed' are convinced they've finally found proof of their conspiracy.
The programme sees four contestants answer general knowledge questions in a bid to earn counters which can be placed in a gigantic arcade-style coin pusher machine to hopefully earn them cash.
It's presented by Good Morning Britain anchor Ben Shephard and has aired since 2012.
However, over the years some viewers have been convinced the show is 'fixed' and the coin machine is rigged.
After yesterday's episode aired, one fan posted a video claiming to prove that there's a magnet in the machine that is pulling the counter in a certain direction on purpose.
Host Ben, 47, has previously addressed the fan theories about the show and laughed them off - while ITV have always said there's no truth to the conspiracy.
In a previous episode of Tipping Point: Lucky Stars, Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter also floated the idea of the magnet.
"Don't talk about the magnet," Ben answered back. "Conspiracy theorists love a magnet."
On social media, viewers think there's a 'Magnet Man' controlling the machine.

"Magnet man's on form today," one viewer previously said while watching an episode.
"Magnet Man will make sure a couple of correct answers will do," said another.
While a third said: "Are itv out of money? Magnet man is avoiding that that jackpot like the plague!"
Tipping Point airs weekdays on ITV and ITV Hub.
