Tipping Point fans rip into ‘downright rude’ contestant – and beg Ben Shephard to put them in their place
TIPPING Point fans were less than impressed with one "rude" contestant.
Ben Shephard was back on our screens today, hosting hopeful contestants as they competed on the ITV game show.
But fans were left frustrated with a "downright rude" contestant.
Viewers of the show took to Twitter to share their irritation with one of the eager players.
One simply wrote: "Matt annoying me."
A second quipped: "Matt has travelled a lot just to show off and then gets a geography question wrong."

Other viewers shot their complaints at Ben, 48, with one ranting: "I know the contestants are encouraged to talk but please tell them not speak over you, it's down right rude.
"And stop repeating the questions with the answers you've just asked, it's completely pointless."
A second agreed stating: "We don’t need you to repeat the questions."
It's not the first time Tipping Point has made headlines due to annoying fans though.

The audience were flabbergasted as contestant Linda repeated the same mistake three times.
Unfortunately, each time Linda chose to release her counter, she did so when all the other counters below were pressed up against the wall.
This caused all of her counters to land on top of the others, meaning she was unable to get any back out.
One wrote online: “Linda having an absolute mare with timing on her drops. Has she never watched the programme?”
It comes after presenter Ben, who has hosted the ITV quiz show ever since its very first episode in 2012, put his bare chest on display in a cheeks behind the scenes clip.
The clip showed the Good Morning Britain anchor in his dressing room getting ready for the show.
Ben could be seen cheekily unbuttoning his shirt and briefly flashing his toned chest before the video cuts back in the corridor.
