A Tipping Point contestant has been blasted by viewers after giving the “worst answer ever” on the ITV quiz show.

Malik, a fashion designer from Luton, was taking on fellow players Mandy and Steph and for a chance at landing the jackpot on the coin machine on Wednesday’s episode (October 9).

As he began his rapid fire Q&A with host Ben Shephard, he attempted to answer as many questions as he can and bag some coins to drop into the machine.

But one of the answers he offered up had viewers both stunned and in stitches, with many dubbing it the worst answer ever.

When asked a question about the capital city of Greece, Malik answered “Rome” – with many in total disbelief that he would mess up such a basic geography question.

“'What's the capital of Greece?' Malik: 'Rome.’" Blasted one fan followed by several laughing emojis.

Another viewer penned: "Oh dear. The lack of geographical knowledge nowadays never ceases to amaze and sadden me."

The light-hearted ridicule continued with one sarcastically commenting: "Rome is a Greek city, is it?"

The answer sparked a flood of memes and jokes, with one fan writing: "Ah yes, that well-known Greek capital city – Rome!" and “Sorry but that is up there with one of the worst answers ever and the bar is very high.”

Fans often calls out players for epic answer blunders.

Recently, a player dropped a royal clanger when she was asked who the ruling British monarch was when Tony Blair was Prime Minister.

The Good Morning Britain presenter was set off sniggering as he told her the correct answer was actually Queen Elizabeth ll.

Viewers at home took to Twitter to comment on the fail.Hesitating slightly, she replied: "Erm, Queen Victoria?"

One said: ""Queen Victoria? That’s up there with the worst answers on #TippingPoint."

A second wrote: "I can't believe she thought Tony Blair was PM when Queen Victoria was on the throne #TippingPoint."

Another blunder happened when Ben asked: “The goldfinch belongs to which winged class of animal?”

Even if a person isn’t a regular bird watcher, the mention of wings would surely prompt many to answer: “Birds.”

But not Joe, who went in the completely opposite direction, answering: “Fish.”

Joe immediately realised his mistake, with Ben cracking up as he continued asking the questions.
