Tipping Point fans beg enthusiastic contestant to 'stop talking' over Ben Shephard

Tipping Point fans were left frustrated at tonight's episode as one contestant couldn't stop talking over Ben Shephard.

The ITV gameshow, which is presented by the Good Morning Britain star, had fans desperately begging one player to stop butting in over the host.

Alan, who was one of the contestants playing to win a life-changing cash prize, had made it to the third round, and was playing against co-star Lydia.

During the round, Alan and Lydia took turns to answer questions in a bid to win counters to slot into the coin-dozer style machine.

But Alan couldn't stop himself from talking as he watched the counters fall into his chosen drop zones.

Alan was blasted by fans for chatting over Ben (ITV)

Watching his counter fall into drop zone four, Ben announced: "Six counters between you -" as Dan chimed in: "On the left, very nice on the left. Try and get that double."

But as it dropped, Ben was cut-off again as he gave an update on what was happening.

Alan said: "That's what we want isn't it? That's pretty good."

He lost out to co-star Lydia, who won the show (ITV)

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Wait until Ben finishes speaking will ya Alan #tippingpoint ".

After he was criticised for chatting over Ben, the contestant lost out to Lydia, and many fans were relieved to see him out.

Another penned: "haha aww what a shame, Alan has lost serves him right for being a snobby t**t".

Ben was cut-off several times by Alan (ITV)

While a third shared: "Bye Alan #tippingpoint ".

Lydia won the show and decided to take home her winnings of £3,550 after losing out on the jackpot prize.
