Tipping Point turns awkward as host Ben calls Love Island star sloppy seconds

Tipping Point: Lucky Stars turned awkward as Ben Shephard made a cheeky dig about a contestant during a throwback episode.

Strictly Come Dancing star Joe McFadden, author Richard Herring and Love Island alum Olivia Attwood appeared on the ITV show in a bid to win big money for their chosen charity.

At the end of the first round, Joe found himself in third place, Olivia was slightly ahead in second place and Richard was storming ahead in first place.

Just before the show went off-air for a commercial break, host Ben said: "So Richard is leading, Olivia you're currently in sloppy seconds."

As the studio audience erupted into laughter, the blonde bombshell replied: "Very sloppy."

Good Morning Britain star Ben, 46, added: "You're going to have to try and talk to the machine around and see if you can improve things in round three. Will Olivia do it?"

Former TOWIE star Olivia impressed viewers after correctly answering that auricular muscles are found in the ears but struggled on a few general knowledge questions.

When asked what letter appeared on motorcycle learner plates, she incorrectly answered 'P' instead of 'L'.

Olivia also thought an accurate description for illusion was "smoke and feathers" – not smoke and mirrors.

And when she was asked a question about a book publisher, she answered Penguin instead of Mills and Boon.

The Olivia Meets Her Match star ended up coming in second place, with Richard going onto play for the jackpot prize £10,000 in the final round.

However, it wasn't meant to be for the star and he ended up walking away from the show with £6,000 for charity.

Since appearing on Tipping Point, Olivia has landed her own documentary series.

Getting Filthy Rich aired on ITV and followed the blonde bombshell explore various areas of sex work.

Tipping Point airs weekdays on ITV at 4pm
