Tipping Point came under fire from fans after they claimed a contestant was "robbed" on today's show.
Ben Shephard welcomed four new quizzers on Tuesday's edition of the popular ITV gameshow.
Gemma, Adele, Ezra and Shane were testing their general knowledge against one another in a bid to win the £10,000 jackpot.

However, fans were unhappy with the manner of Gemma's exit in the second round.
The account manager from Cheltenham only needed to bank £50 from the machine to overtake Ezra and progress to the head-to-head.
Gemma built up three counters and targeted a busy drop zone in the arcade style machine.
Many counters fell over the Tipping Point, but this was during Gemma's second and third drops so was technically out of play and could not be counted to Gemma's haul.
The "ambient drop" meant she had to target a different zone and had to leave the show when she could not bank any extra counters.
Viewers on Twitter were furious after the ruling and blasted the game show.
Éanna said: "Dear #tippingpoint unless a person's go is over- they should get all counters that drop during their go."
Shane added: "Gemma well and truly mugged off"
@mheanes commented : "She was robbed"
Aidan posted: "That girl was conned there"
Michael tweeted: "Once the Contestant has chosen the drop zone it shouldn't matter if counters drop, they should get them regardless."
Chris said: "These null and void drops on #tippingpoint wrecking the game"
Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV and ITV Hub
