ITV gameshow Tipping Point has returned to our screens for its 12th series – and one look on Twitter shows fans are loving it more than ever.
The all-time fan favourite leaves viewers gripped, hanging off the edge of theirs seats as they watch contestants risk it all in a giant arcade game.
With the right amount of luck, the contestants can be in for a life-changing sum of money.
So how can you be part of the ITV gameshow?
Here’s how to apply.
What’s Tipping Point?
Tipping Point features a large coin-pusher arcade-style machine.
The game involves answering general knowledge questions and dropping a coin down a shute in an attempt to win as many counters as you can.

The coins go in, the machine (hopefully) pushes them over the top shelf and on to the bottom.
Then the weight of those (again, hopefully) pushes them over the bottom shelf – or the tipping point – and into the contestants’ prize pot.
It really is anyone’s game on Tipping Point as it is left completely up to chance.
The final sees the last remaining contestant put a big counter with a star on it in the machine.
The aim is to get this over the tipping point.
Doing it wins the player £10k – or £20k if the double counter is pushed over in the same drop.
Who hosts Tipping Point?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know the answer to this one.
The popular gameshow is hosted by TV presenter Ben Shephard.
