Tipping Point fans left double-taking as ‘football legend’ makes game show debut
TIPPING Point fans were left double-taking as a ‘football legend’ apparently made their show debut.
The ITV quiz show aired its latest episode as fans tuned in to see the three new hopefuls.
Ben Shephard presents the programme as the contestants answer general knowledge questions to win counters.
Those counters are then placed in a giant coin machine with a cash jackpot to be won.
However, fans were seriously distracted as it appeared a sports star was on the show.
They were quick to compare Dave, who is a pastor, to various sporting favourites.
Taking to social media, one fan said: “Jürgen Klopp is on Tipping Point! Sorry Dave.”
Another posted: “Jurgen Klopp is looking cheery today.”
“I’m thinking that Dave is Jürgen Klopp’s long lost younger brother,” said a third.
While a fourth commented that Dave looked like actor Guy Pearce, tweeting: “I think Dave on #TippingPoint looks like Guy Pearce.”
Meanwhile, a Tipping Point contestant recently broke down in tears on the show after scooping a cash prize.
Player Grant became overwhelmed with emotion after scooping a massive £10k.
He threw his hands in the air and covered his mouth as he realised he was quids in.
“That’s unbelievable, oh thank you so much, Ben,” he told host Ben Shephard as he started to get choked up.
Grant then said the win felt “wonderful” and that he was “speechless” before starting to cry.
“Oh my goodness to even be here is a dream but this just goes beyond anything…what a wonderful day thank you so much. Absolutely fantastic. I actually feel very emotional, thank you.”
Tipping Point airs weekdays from 4pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
