Tipping Point contestant mistakes Ben Shephard for their lover ‘Bob’

A contestant on Tipping Point made a hilarious blunder on the show yesterday after mistaking host Ben Shephard for their lover.

Margaret accidentally called Ben 'Bob', later revealing that she had accidentally called him by her lover's name.

Recalling the moment on Good Morning Britain today, co-host Kate Garraway said: "If you go on Tipping Point, it's a big moment. Fans of Tipping Point, they want to go on it, they want to be part of it, they're looking forward to it.

"'We're going to meet Ben Shephard, we're going to meet Ben Shephard!' And then they meet Ben Shephard and, well, if you're Margaret, they can't remember you're Ben Shephard!"

The show then aired the awkward clip, with Margaret standing at her podium.

She sighed: "Two again please Bob."

Ben took a double take, staring at the camera and began smilingr.

Margaret realised what she had said and glanced over at Ben before they both burst into laughter.


Ben asked: "Who's Bob?"

"My partner," she replied before chuckling again.

"Is your partner really called Bob?" asked Ben.

Marget quipped: "I'm thinking I'm taking you home with me!"

Back in the studio, Kate joked: "At least Bob isn't her dog!"
