Ben Shephard stunned as Fern Britton makes cheeky Eamonn Holmes dig on Tipping Point
Fern Britton joined Iain Stirling and Mark-Francis Vandelli on Sunday's Tipping Point Lucky Stars, however her opening left host Ben Shephard looking slightly bewildered

Ben Shephard was left with his jaw on the floor on Sunday evening's episode of Tipping Point Lucky Stars, as celebrity contestant Fern Britton made a cheeky comment about Eamonn Holmes.

The This Morning legend introduced herself as having worked with a "handsome" man, piling on compliments as the camera cut to Ben looking pretty smug.

She said: "I'm Fern Britton, I'm a presenter and author and in the last 40 odd years I've interviewed and worked with some incredible men, but I think the most handsome, talented and brilliant of them has been Eamonn Holmes."

However instead of saying she was talking about buff Ben, the 63-year-old cheekily said she was actually talking about Eamonn Holmes.

Good Morning Britain star Ben was stunned, however when Fern suggested that could change by the end of the show, Ben told her he'd "look after" her.

And it seems he stuck to his word, as Fern ended up knocking both Love Island host Iain and Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis out of the competition.

Reality star Mark got off to a perhaps slightly over-confident start, buzzing in for questions very early.

His confidence didn't work out to his advantage though, and he was knocked out, leaving just Fern and Iain to play on.

Comedian Iain had a tough time during the next round, trying and failing to play it tactically.

Legendary presenter got through to the final round, winning a mystery prize – which turned out to be a bottle of Prosecco – along the way.

In the end, Fern won the jackpot, winning a whopping £20,000 for her charity.

She explained her charity of choice was the Shuktara Trust UK, which provides a home for disabled children in India.

"I won't be able to sleep tonight," she said, excitedly. "This is just wonderful, thank you."

She added: "I need a drink. Can we open the Prosecco now?"

Tipping Point airs weeknights at 4pm on ITV
