Scouse Tipping Point player branded 'unlucky' after today's show

A Liverpool native made a quick exit from today's Tipping Point.

Retired engineer Bob was today's hot topic as his gameplaying didn't go unnoticed by viewers. The Liverpool native barely scraped by round one as he only banked £100. Competitor Robin banked absolutely nothing, meaning Bob was lucky enough to make it through to the later stages.

Despite his best efforts, Bob continued to be struck by bad luck but some were putting it down to his actions throughout the show. Viewers watched Bob continuously press his buzzer at the wrong time or target questionable drop zones.

Tipping Point fans made comments on how his approach was "shocking" alongside Tweets of sympathy, calling him "unlucky."

One viewer said: "Bob’s timing was shocking."

Another added: "Oh Bob..."

A third fan said: "Bye Bob. See you soon Bob. Unlucky Bob."

A final viewer added: "Poor Bob."

Bob's game came to an end as he was expected to bank over £1,000 with just three counters. Like his first round, he was met with unfortunate drops that would either fill gaps or simply didn't push any other the edge.
