Tipping Point fans 'switch off' as viewers left fuming just minutes into latest episode
Tipping Point fans blasted the show and "switched off" minutes into Friday’s episode (September 6) for one frustrating reason.
ITV viewers eagerly anticipated a fresh instalment of the beloved coin machine game show, only to discover they were watching a repeat episode—despite brand new episodes airing earlier this week.
Disappointed viewers took to social media to complain about the episode and begged for new instalments of their favourite afternoon show hosted by Ben Shepherd.
One fan fumed: "A new series started on Monday, so why are @ITV fobbing us off with repeats after just three days?"
"It’s not a new #TippingPoint - the trigger is real," a second mused.
"Can’t believe this is another repeat! Turned off TV until Answer Run comes on on BBC1," a third fumed.
A fourth added: "So #Lingo and #TippingPoint show new episodes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but repeats on Thursday and Friday. What is this?!"
