Tipping Point viewers were left cringing after one contestant appeared far less than thrilled when host Ben Shephard told her she was out of the game.

Viewers of Tipping Point were convinced one contestant was absolutely furious during Monday’s repeat episode after she was eliminated in the opening round.
Louise’s time on the ITV quiz show came to an end after she failed to get enough counters to drop from the machine. Host Ben Shephard was then left with the unenviable task of telling her that she would be leaving the game.
Louise initially delivered the usual polite response about having enjoyed her day, but viewers at home thought her expression told a very different story.
After playing her final counter without managing to secure a significant drop, Ben explained that time was running out.
“It’s a little bit patchy… Louise I’m afraid that’s your last counter into the machine, you’ve got £50,” he told her.
“For the time being you are out of the round, you’re going to have to try to win the penalty pot to get through to the next round.”

Louise simply stared at Ben without replying, creating an awkward silence as the other contestants continued playing.
Later, Ben reminded her: “This is your last chance!”
Kirsty then buzzed in but gave the wrong answer, meaning Louise, Tyler and Howard remained in contention.
Howard eventually answered correctly, leaving Ben to deliver the news Louise had been hoping to avoid.
“I’m afraid we are going to be losing you,” he said.

He continued: “Louise I am afraid at £50 we have found your tipping point, thank you for playing.”
Louise responded with a smile and politely replied: “Thank you.”
But viewers had already made up their minds about her reaction.
One fan joked on social media: “Louise did NOT have a good day. If looks could kill or what! #tippingpoint”
Another wrote: “Louise definitely didn’t have a great day Ben!”
A third viewer was even more blunt, joking: “Louise is f**** ragin’. #TippingPoint”**
Another added: “Louise looked proper f****d off there!! #TippingPoint”**
While Louise remained polite throughout, her expression during the tense exchange was enough to leave viewers convinced she was anything but pleased with the result.
Tipping Point airs weekdays on ITV at 4pm.
