TIPPING Point fans have been left fuming after a contestant received a mystery prize deemed "utterly useless".
Wednesday afternoon's episode of the ITV quiz show saw Malcom, Hayley and Danny take on the extraordinary machine in the hope of winning a cash jackpot.
Soon into the episode, Hayley was delighted after she earned herself a mystery prize as the rare counter fell out – a Slush Puppie machine.
"You got your hands on a mystery prize, which is a slushy maker!" said host Ben Shephard.
Hayley was very thankful, telling Ben: "I so wanted one! Thank you!"
Tipping Point fans, however, branded the prize as "poor" compared to previous prizes handed out on the show.

Echoing their comments, someone else said: "ITV have had an absolute shocker there. A slush machine as a prize? Utterly useless!"
While a third remarked: "A f***ing slushl maker – really? What a s*** prize that is!"
It's not the first time that a prize has been slammed by viewers.
