Tipping Point contestant blunders and calls Ben Shephard their lover 'Bob'

A contestant on tonight's (July 6) Tipping Point left host Ben Shephard speechless when she forgot his name, calling him Bob.

Margaret, who made it to the final round had just successfully answered a question when Ben asked her what zone she would like to drop her coin in. Margaret sighed and said: "Two again please Bob."

Once Margaret realised what she had said, she glanced at Ben. They both burst into laughter.

During the hilarious moment, Ben stopped and smiled at the camera. He then asked "Who's Bob?"

"My partner. I'm thinking I'm taking you home with me!" she joked before tittering again.

"Everyone wins all round then, Margaret. Apart from Bob, who might be a bit put out." Ben quipped.

Although Margaret did not end up going home with Ben or the £10,000 jackpot - she did go home with £2,000 and is now a memorable contestant on the game show. Viewers on Twitter were fast to react to the hilarious moment.
