WARNING: After listening to today's episode of FOB, you may never be able to watch Tipping Point in the same way again, as Jenny and Lucy welcome a real life whistleblower to the show!

Owen Visser may seem like a mildmannerd writer and performer (and one half of the frankly BRILLIANT Mr Thing), but he is in fact a former contestant on the one and only Tipping Point, and became front page news as a result.

Owen's performance on the show caused quite a stir on social media and people were unforgiving when he made the kind of gaff anyone would, when standing under those studio lights, mere meters from the presence of Ben Shephard - it's easier at home you know!

The Twitter tirade then caught the interest of the tabloid press and the rest is history .... or is it? Because we hear EXCLUSIVELY from the man himself, and find out what really goes on behind the scenes of one of Britain's best loved quiz shows...

How many contestants can fit into a Tipping Point cab? Why is there a man in white gloves on set? What does Ben Shepard really smell like? All these questions and so much more are answered, so buckle-up and get stuck-in.
