But alert fans were left gobsmacked as contestant Ben was served up a wrong answer during his Q&A.

Contestant Ben was asked: “In the UK the longest day of the year appears in which month?”

Ben answered: “July,” but was corrected by Ben who informed him the answer was June.

Observant viewers immediately blasted the show, claiming the answer was wrong and dubbed the gaffe “outrageous”.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer penned: “Bad question on Tipping Point. The longest day isn’t in June, that’s the longest daylight hours.

"The longest day is when the clocks go back as it’s 25 hours."

Others soon joined forces to express their outrage at the error, with another person exclaiming: "You’re so right! That’s so bad, they should know better!”

A third agreed, adding: “Outrageous really, it’s a trivia show they should check their answers!"

The "longest day" of the year, also known as the Summer Solstice, sees Brits treated to almost 17 hours of sunlight sometime in the month of June.

But as eagle-eyed fans have pointed out, this only accounts for daylight hours and not the longest entire day, which works out longer with daylight savings time.

Tipping Point airs weekdays at 4pm on ITV.
