A Tipping Point contestant was aghast after she suffered a rare "kamikaze drop" on today's show.
Host Ben Shephard welcomed four new players on Thursday's edition of the popular ITV gameshow.
Peter, Jess, Jon and Lisa were testing their general knowledge skills as they hoped to win big money from the arcade style machine.

Jon and Lisa progressed through to the final two and competed in a nail-biting head-to-head.
Lisa was in front by £500 - and was delighted when she stole a counter from Jon to extend her lead.
However, the player was distraught when the counter shot directly on top of numerous coins and failed to push anything over the tipping point.
The player groaned after the rare move - and Ben branded it a "kamikaze drop".
He said: "Bit of a kamikaze drop that. It's flown out and it's riding.
"No controlling it at all so Jon, no damage done there fortunately."
Lisa was in control for the next question, which she answered correctly to get another chance at the machine.
The player had better luck with her next go - as she pushed seven counters over the edge to progress to today's final.
Lisa built up £3,700 in the last round - and decided to leave with the money instead of gambling for the jackpot counter.
Tipping Points airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV and ITV Hub
