    Tipping Point viewers reduced to hysterics on social media after a contestant bagged a somewhat unusual mystery prize on Monday's (September 25) installment of the ITV gameshow.<\/p>\n

    After introducing herself as a retired salesperson from Northumberland, Stella surged ahead in the opening round, answering several questions correctly to drop counters to the value of \u00a3500. <\/p>\n

    Stella, who was quite vocal throughout the episode, soon landed a 'question mark' counter, much to her delight. <\/p>\n

    After the mystery token dropped, excited host Ben Shephard revealed: "You've won a cage snorkel with sharks experience for two people, courtesy of the Bear Grylls adventure!"<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Seemingly pleased by her win, Stella responded: "That's wonderful, thank you."<\/p>\n

    Over on X (formerly Twitter), however, fans of the programme weren't convinced Stella would appreciate her win. <\/p>\n

    "Can\u2019t see Stella enjoying that mystery prize #tippingpoint," wrote one user. <\/p>\n

    Another added: "S*** mystery prize going straight on eBay klaxon! #TippingPoint."<\/p>\n

    A third asked: "Shark diving? What about the smart garden and Thames boat #TippingPoint."<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    A fourth joked: "A great mystery prize – for someone as annoying as Stella! #TippingPoint."<\/p>\n

    And a fifth said: "Diving with sharks – that\u2019s a new one #TippingPoint."<\/p>\n

    Within a matter of minutes, meanwhile, lucky Stella bagged another prize – this time a seven-speed road bike which Ben took great pleasure in awarding her. <\/p>\n

    "Oh my word. That's fantastic – it's actually just what I want. It's marvelous, thank you," she said, beaming from ear to ear. <\/p>\n

    With her afternoon going from strength to strength, Stella reached the final round with a cool \u00a31,950 in her prize fund as she began to play for the \u00a310,000 jackpot. <\/p>\n

    Sadly, however, she came within millimetres of dislodging the jackpot counter with her final throw of the dice after boosting her winnings by a further \u00a32,000. <\/p>\n

    "Can you believe it, Stella?" said Ben afterwards. "How about that."<\/p>\n
