Tipping Point
I have just filmed an ITV quiz show Tipping Point,today at BBC studios in London. It was such good fun and Ben Shepherd was the host.
I have never been on tv before or even entered anything like this so it was very surprised to get chosen form the thousands of applicants. the auditions were a few weeks ago and 12/14 on my audition had been on telly before so competition was fierce.
I am not allowed to give too much away but I was asked by Ben what would i do if I won. Of course I said my favourite band Kiss were touring Europe in the summer and if I won the £10,000 jackpot I would be going to a few of the shows. He then asked if I ever got dressed up for the gigs and although I said no, he had a good laugh when I told him I took my pink inflateable guitar everywhere with me, even to rock festivals.
The downside was I was wearing a bright orange jumper as they are very choosy about what you can and can't wear so I looked a bit like Tango man as I had an orange t shirt on underneath. Also, I didn't lose the 4 stone in the few weeks I knew I was going to be on the show to look anyway near normal. He also said I looked like a member of showaddywaddy.
I did have my lucky Kiss keyring with me which although had snapped of recently I had in my pocket.
The show wont air until Jan next year but I will let you know nearer the time when I know the date, if you fancy a good laugh and hopefully getting Kiss a bit of good publicity with my little story. I think it will be on at 5pm and audience is 2 Million, so a few extra Brits will get to hear about Kiss.

Re: Tipping Point
Will do Andy. Had mixed reviews in the first series, but having watched all 20 on YouTube thought most were quite fun.
I hope they don't edit out the Kiss or glamrock stories.

Re: Tipping Point
I have had a few people on here ask me when my episode is going to be shown as series started a few weeks ago. It's going to be on ITV at 4pm on Friday Feb 22nd. Apparently they get their best audience ratings on a Friday. Just hope they haven't edited any comments i made about Kiss and Sweet!
