TIPPING POINT RENEWED FOR FURTHER SERIES ON ITV, NEW EPISODES COMING SOON

Tipping Point is reportedly set to return to the studio later this year to record a new batch of episodes for broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX.

The long-running ITV afternoon staple took a year out from filming whilst ITV continued to have episodes on the shelf for longer than usual. The Sun newspaper reports that new episodes will air soon, with the show returning to the studio this year also.

Tipping Point, the quiz in which contestants answer questions to win turns on an arcade-style machine, is hosted by Ben Shephard has been a staple of ITV's afternoon schedule since it launched in 2012.

Dropping tokens down a choice of four chutes, the contestants hope to knock piles of them off a moving shelf - and the more they collect, the greater the prize fund. The player who has won the least amount is then eliminated, and the last one standing competes for a £10,000 jackpot.

Previous episodes of Tipping Point are available now on ITVX.
