Tipping Point host Ben Shephard was left cringing at one player's fast food error during the latest show.

Monday's episode (August 15) of the ITV quiz programme saw players Dave and Harry advance to the head-to-head round.

During the round, a question about American states left Dave and Tipping Point presenter Ben blushing as Harry made a big fast food faux pas.

Ben, 47, asked: "The only two American states to begin with the letter 'k' are Kansas and which other?"

As Harry passed the question to Dave, who correctly answered Kentucky, Harry blurted: "KFC, I should have got it, yeah."

The remark left Ben in stitches, as Dave knocked down an impressive 11 counters as a result of answering the steal correctly.

"Harry!" Ben later exclaimed. "On the steal, Dave. Nice drop!"

Harry's blunder was also picked up online by Tipping Point viewers.

Posting to Twitter, one fan wrote: "Think 'Fried Chicken', Harry."

A second said: "Surprised he didn’t think “the chicken bloke” and then said Nando's."

Meanwhile, a third added: "Even Ben is glazing over."

With Dave's steal gifting him a significant lead, he sailed through to the final round for a chance to take home the jackpot counter.

Despite amassing an impressive cash pot of £3,700, Dave failed to knock down the jackpot counter at the end of the final round, leaving him with a tough decision to make.

Opting to avoid risking the trade, Dave decided to go home with his cash pot.

Explaining his decision he said: "Given that [the counter's] not wanting to move forward and is tucked in under that black counter now, £3,700 is a lot of money, I think I'll stay with the money."

Dave said he would use the cash to take his family to Florida.

Tipping Point airs from 4pm on weekdays on ITV.
