Joni, a physics student from Nottingham, went into the lead during the first round, but some viewers questioned whether she should be on the show at all.

Taking to Twitter, one Tipping Point viewer wrote: "Joni looks about 12."

They weren't the only ones to comment on her youthful appearance, as another joked: "#TippingPoint Joni I thought you had to be 18 to gamble?”

Another added: “That girl look about 12!”

Meanwhile a fourth tweeted: “Joni is smashing it on #tippingpoint, and she's only on their cos her school is shut due to the snow! Putting the elders to shame.”

Joni had a dream of a first round as she landed £1,000 with just a few counters.

Asone had less luck and was sent home first, followed by Steve, leaving Joni and Ange to go head to head.

Joni's luck continued and she managed to secure more counters than Ange and make it through to the final.

In the last round, the jackpot token clung to the edge but failed to tip over, leading host Ben Shephard to offer Joni three extra tokens in exchange for the £3400 she had accumulated so far.

However, the student decided not to risk it all and opted to keep her winnings.

They then played the extra three counters anyway to see what would have happened, and Joni was gutted to see the jackpot counter drop, meaning she would have won £10,000 if she had taken the chance.

Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV1.
