TIPPING Point viewers were left seething with anger as a contestant "ruined" the show after posting a revealing behind-the-scenes pic.
Ahead of Tuesday afternoon's episode, player Brian McNott took to social media to engage with fans – but soon gave away the show's eventual winner.
Brian, a social worker from Glasgow, could be seen racing ahead of his fellow contestants and securing a nice lead in the first round.
It was then that Brian surfaced on Twitter sharing a picture of him posing alongside host Ben Shepard on set with a big smile on his face.
Captioning the revealing snap, he said: “Come on then Twitter, what you got for me?"
Fans immediately rushed to the comments accusing the contestant of dropping a major clue that he won the episode.

Alongside an emoji of an angry face, one person penned: "Looks like you've spoilt it for us all. You won then?"
Echoing their comments, someone else fumed: "Why would you post this during the episode? It just spoils it for everyone."
While a third added: "Brian's a jammy c***."
Others agreed he had revealed his victory, but rooted for the star to take home the £10k cash prize.
Brian did make it to the final with an impressive £3,150 in his bank.
Ultimately, he was unable to drop the jackpot counter and opted to take home his £4400 winnings instead of trading in for three more counters.
Fans have been expressive of their disapproval of the show’s new format this week after the show dropped a contestant from the podium, leaving three in place of the usual four.

The show also saw more time added to the clock, allowing contestants to win more chips to play in the machine.
Fans flocked to Twitter to blast the change, arguing that it takes the competitive edge away from the show and is far less entertaining.
Tipping Point airs weekdays on ITV at 4pm.
