Fans of Tipping Point flocked to social media to express their displeasure with Gaby Roslin’s garish and distracting ensemble.
Ben Shephard, host of ITV Tipping Point, welcomed celebrity guests JJ Chalmers, Gaby Roslin, and Sean Fletcher to the Tipping Point: Lucky Stars special, which aired on Sunday. As they took turns playing the arcade-style game, the trio of well-known celebrities tried to win big for their respective organizations. However, participant Gaby’s vibrant outfit diverted attention away from the game.
Gaby was the first of the blocks to correctly answer a question, and she handed the initial coin to JJ, who failed to advance a single coin.
Gaby quickly established herself as a strong contender by winning £1,900 and a mystery reward, which turned out to be a flannel with host Ben’s face on it, inside the first half of the show.
Fans were quick to point out that she made a fashion faux pas on the television when she was beaming.
Her clothing, which consisted of a bright coral/pink blouse and yellow slacks, irritated the eyes of some onlookers.
@na8884441 tweeted: “@GabyRoslin, that colour is hurting my eyes!”
Juliet Grace said, “Watching Tipping Point anyone?? Gaby Roslin thinks she’s chilling at home. Look at her trousers!!! No !!!”
Co-celebrity contestant JJ Chalmers shared a picture from filming and said, “Oooohhhh… My Granny would have loved to watched this, well you can enjoy it tonight at 1900 on @itv and @WeAreSTV. (Not sure my Granny’s Old Eyes could have handled @GabyRoslin Trousers tho, but they definitely brighten up everything and our mood.) #TippingPoint #LuckyStars.”
Some fans enjoyed her vibrant outfit, with @VampItUpManchester and commented, “@TippingPointITV I’d love to know where Gaby’s trackies are from #tippingpoint.”
Paul A. Rider said, that she looked “fantastic” and Sandra Webb told, “@GabyRoslin you so need to win #tippingpoint only if its just for how lovely your trousers are x #inthebag.”
JJ, an Invictus Games medallist and broadcaster, was performing well in second place, dropping five counters early on. However, Sean, an American-British journalist, managed to leapfrog JJ, increasing his stake from £100 to £1,500.
JJ was the first celebrity to go, raising £1,100 for The Halo Trust, the world’s largest humanitarian landmine removal organization.
Ben jested in show that his fellow Good Morning Britain host, Sean, would need to do better to be allowed back in the studio and that he was “letting the whole” team down.
Gaby agreed earlier on that it was her “dad’s favorite show” and that she had to do well for him.
The host shocked herself and Ben with how well she was doing during the show.
Ben said funnily, “Finally, your dad is proud of you Gaby.”
Instead Sean’s best effort, he was eliminated but was able to take £2,200 home for his charity, Young Minds.
“How did that happen?,” Gaby said when she made it to the final.
With the jackpot counter dangling near to the ledge, her luck and basic knowledge continued to pay off as she won an amazing £5,700.
Gaby denied the deal and pocketed the £6,000 she was able to bank when a few dud counters were unable to shift the golden coin.
The star had a difficult time completing the deal, since the first of the three coins knocked it down.
