FANS of Tipping Point were forced to switch off after they spotted something unusual about the contestants.

During today's episode, host Ben Shephard welcomed four new hopefuls to take on the mighty drop zones and see if they could walk away with some cash.

Fans were quick to point out that Tipping Point episode was a repeat.

This is because the show had four contestants instead of it's usual three.

And the older version of the ITV quiz show originally had four contestants.

Taking to Twitter, one said: "Seems #TippingPoint is back to really old episode repeats then, seeing as this one today is with 4 contestants."

Friday's episode unveiled one of the show's mystery prizes just minutes into the show.

One of the show's mystery counters was teetering on the edge of the drop zone and Sandy was successful in managing to get the counter over the edge securing himself a prize as well as £150 in counters.

However, viewers watching along at home were left less than impressed at the special prize which was a set of DJ decks.

Whilst reaction was mostly negative online, the unique prize went down a treat in the studio as Ben quipped he would be "DJ Sandy".

Sandy smiled as he replied: "Ooh, I love that!"

But on Twitter, one viewer claimed had they have won the prize the item would be "straight on eBay".

The viewer said: "S*** mystery prize going straight on eBay klaxon!"

As a second agreed, adding: "Straight on to eBay mystery prize."

Another said: "Totally s*** and useless prize klaxon."
