Ben Shephard shares Tipping Point winner’s triplet update

The show sees contestants answer a series of questions to win counters, which they then drop into a machine, similar to a slot machine at an arcade.

The aim is for each counter to nudge more off the edge, resulting in winning money and sometimes even surprises for contestants.

While fans of the show can see how it plays out for contestants while they compete, they very rarely receive an update on how they’ve spent their money or what they did next after their appearance on the show.

However, on X, Shephard, who also presents ITV’s This Morning with Cat Deeley, shared an update about one of the contestants who played in yesterday’s show (February 26).

Jamie was a contestant who said if he won money on the show, he would use any winnings to pay for IVF so that he and his partner Hayley could give their son Otis a sibling.

Ben shared that not only did they give their son a sibling, but they gave him three as the couple welcomed triplets – Nova, Jasper and Billy.

In the emotional update, Ben said: “Not sure it gets much better”.

The full update on the social media platform, which includes photos of Jamie and his family, including the tiny triplets, reads: “So if you saw #tippingpoint @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.

“Well they hit the jackpot with our first Tipping Point Triplets Nova Jasper and Billy

“Not sure it gets much better”.

The news was met with heartwarming messages from Ben’s followers, including this one, who said: “What a lovely ending, love this!”.
