TIPPING Point spectators had their buttons pushed as one player didn't know when to push their's.
Fans of the show tuned in as they usually do to watch ITV's Tipping Point, but yesterday's outing (June 1) had the show's host baffled by a contestant's strategy.
Long-term host Ben Shephard welcomed the money-winning hopefuls to the show.
Among them was Nicky. Nicky hoped to take on the machine and come out on top so she could go to Singapore with her husband.
It became clear very early on that she couldn't quite grasp the timing of when to push the button and release the coin.

Much to Ben's surprise, her dodgy timing didn't trip her up, and despite the mismatch, coins kept falling.
During the show, Ben said: "You are somehow getting away with this, Nicky.
"You're living on the edge, but it's working."
Her luck saw her leapfrog to the front securing £1800. Her luck didn't stop there as she made it through to the final round, with fellow contestant Matt leaving the show commenting: "She's very lucky with these. Today is your day."
Nicky's method saw her take home the jackpot of £10,000.
Once the episode aired, Ben tweeted his praise for the winner and gave a nod to her odd timing.
Ben said: "Great work Nicky, let's not dwell on some of the comically poor timing along the way £10k for that trip of a lifetime to Singapore with your husband via a spot of glamping to get you in the holiday mood!?
"Congrats from Team #TippingPoint and thank you for being brilliant."
Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV.
