ITV bosses had to halt production in March when the government announced a nationwide lockdown as contestants were travelling from all over the country to take part in the show.

Ben said at the time: "We\'ve been in the studio filming the new series of \'Tipping Point\' down in Bristol and we were doing that all of this week.

"Sadly that\'s had to be suspended now. Clearly there are guidelines in place which we\'ve been adhering to, it\'s a very big studio, it\'s been very difficult."

However, the crew was desperate to continue working but the set became unsafe with contestants travelling from across the country.

He added: "All the crew are freelance so if they\'re not working, they\'re not earning money.

"But it was moving the contestants around the country, that was getting harder."
