Tipping Point host Ben Shephard has shared a heartwarming update about one of the show’s winners.
Thursday’s (February 26) instalment of the popular ITV game show saw Jamie, a university worker, make it to the final round and pocket £3,000.
During the show, when asked about what he intended to do with his winnings, Jamie informed the host that he planned to put the money towards IVF treatment with his partner Hayley. Jamie discussed how he and his partner wished to give their son, Otis, a sibling, but would require IVF to achieve this.
Taking to social media, Ben has now revealed an update on the winner and his family, sharing that the couple had “hit the jackpot” as they welcomed triplets, reports Wales Online.
Posting pictures of the family on his X (formerly Twitter) account, the ITV presenter penned: “So if you saw Tipping Point [on] ITV today you might have seen Jamie talk about using any winnings for IVF with Hayley to give Otis, their son, a little bro or sis.”
Ben added: “Well, they hit the jackpot with our first Tipping Point triplets, Nova, Jasper and Billy. Not sure it gets much better.”
Many viewers were delighted with the outcome and were “moved” by Jamie’s story, expressing joy at the news of Otis’ three new siblings. Ben responded to many saying it was the “best news”.
Comedian Ted Robbins commented: “Just wonderful. Judy and I watched and were so moved by it – and your lovely empathy with them. We are anticipating our 3rd Grandchild and in a sometimes grotty world, always remember that every life is precious.”
