Tipping Point’s future ‘has been revealed’ after ITV halted the show’s production for an entire year.

And the lack of production sent their loyal fans into a frenzy as many have complained over recent months that the broadcaster streaming repeats.

The last new show which was recorded was filmed in 2023 and some are still yet to make their debut.

While the UK has been treated to many shows over the years, such as Deal Or No Deal’s reboot and Mel Giedroyc’s Pictionary, Tipping Point is here to stay, according to The Sun.

A source told the publication: ‘Tipping Point has a cult viewership and is seen as a flagship show for ITV.

‘Last year Ben had a big change in his diary, having taken over as full-time host of This Morning alongside Cat Deeley and landing his own adventure series.

‘Blocks of new episodes of Tipping Point are typically recorded during the summer, but last year that was Ben’s time off with his family.’

Over 1,500 episodes and 103 specials have been aired to date.

The ITV daytime game show has been on screens since 2012.

It features contestants answering general knowledge questions to win tokens to play an arcade-style coin push machine to try and win a £10,000 jackpot.

The news comes after fans celebrated a huge milestone as Ben finally returned to screens with a new episode in November.

Delighted fans shared their enthusiasm at the return of a brand new series of the ITV quiz show, hosted by the This Morning presenter.

Three new contestants faced the coin machine in a new episode, in a bid to take home a cash prize of up to £20k.
