According to the Daily Star, she told the presenter: "I'd like to pass my driving test. I failed my test twice when I was 18.

"I'd also like to take my children on a holiday abroad as I have never been able to do it and it would be nice to take them away.

An inquisitive Ben prodded further to find out how many children Alison had.

She replied: "I have three children. They are 16, 18 and 26."

Viewers at home rushed to their keyboards saying Alison looked amazing look for a mother of a 26-year-old child.

Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: "She has a kid the same age as me?? She looks so young."

A second person posted: "She has a 26-year-old?"

While a third viewer said: "Alison on Tipping Point doesn’t look old enough to have a 26-year-old child!"

Stephen, Jayne, John and Alison all answered a series of questions to win turns on an arcade-style machine.

Dropping tokens down a choice of four chutes, they each hoped to knock piles of the counters off a moving shelve – the more they collected, the greater the prize fund.
