<\/p>\nTipping Point viewers were left in hysterics during Wednesday's (September 27) edition of the ITV gameshow as host Ben Shephard hailed the performance a "unique" contestant.<\/p>\n
Semi-retired local government officer Jean kept fans entertained throughout the episode with her pronunciations, reasoning and her ability to talk herself out of a number of correct answers. <\/p>\n
In doing so, however, Jean, from London, somehow managed to bag herself two mystery prizes in the form of a pizza oven and a weekend break for two, before reaching the final round and departing with a cool \u00a33,550 in cash. <\/p>\n

Midway through the show, meanwhile, Jean's revelation about her hobby had Ben trying to contain his laughter. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Am I right in understanding you're a trained magician, Jean?" he asked. "Yes I can do the odd trick. I've been doing it for about four years now," she replied. Ben pondered: "Are you any good, Jean?"<\/p>\n
"I do have a dippy duck," Jean continued. "It's a duck that you press and it picks a card out." It prompted Ben to admit: "Regardless of the magic, it's a pretty spectacular show if you're doing it, Jean! Something tells me it's going to be very entertaining and people always enjoy it. We're certainly enjoying your performance so far."<\/p>\n

After eliminating her competitors Jen and James, meanwhile, Jean entered the final round to play for the \u00a310,000 jackpot. <\/p>\n
Here, a somewhat unorthodox method of trying to bag the all-important counter left Ben perplexed, however. <\/p>\n
As Jean asked repeatedly to change drop zones, he told her: "You can do what you like Jean. I'm giving up!" Sadly she missed out on the counter, but appeared to be delighted with her day's work. <\/p>\n
"It's a lovely amount of money," enthused Ben as the programme concluded. "You've absolutely cleaned up Jean, you've been brilliant. Hopefully that [prize money] will get you and your daughter somewhere nice and hot."<\/p>\n
"I've had a lovely time," responded Jean. "I've really enjoyed myself."<\/p>\n
Ben then quipped: "We've loved playing alongside you, Jean. It's been pretty unique and thoroughly entertaining so thank you so much."<\/p>\n
