Tipping Point fans reckon they know what Phillip Schofield is doing with his time off this summer after a contestant that was a spitting image of him turned up on the show
Tipping Point has continued to air throwback episodes of the popular game show as Ben Shephard returns to the studio to film the 11th series under coronavirus restrictions.
Just because the episodes have been on before hasn't stopped fans reengaging with the ITV daytime show and on Monday afternoon they were amazed to see a familiar face.
Host Ben welcomed four contestants to battle it out for a cash prize and Dan, Jane, Paul and Zoe were all given a chance to answer a series of questions to win turns on an arcade-style machine, which has proved to be a favourite among generations at the seaside.
The idea is to drop tokens down chutes with the aim of them settling on the moving shelves before pushing further tokens down and out to the contestant for them to be added to the prize fund.
What made this episode stand out was the striking resemblance that contestant Paul had to This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield.
With his shock of white hair and facial features and stature that was an uncanny double of the 58-year-old TV favourite.
With Phillip currently away for the summer from the ITV morning show, one viewer quipped on Twitter : "So that's what Phillip Schofield is doing during his summer holidays, appearing on Tipping Point with Ben Shephard."

Another was convinced that Paul and Phillip were from the same family, tweeting: "Paul's got to be related to Phillip Schofield."
A third believed that there was only one winner: "Phillip Schofield to win Tipping Point today."
Another fan felt there was enough Phillip on screens, tweeting: "That Phillip Schofield is on everything these days."

Unfortunately for Paul, the good fortune that Schofe enjoys was not to rub off on him and he was pipped to the final by Jane.
For those missing Phillip from our screens, he is due to return to This Morning next month alongside his longtime co-host Holly Willoughby.

EAT OUT TO HELP OUT: FULL LIST OF PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS
EAT OUT TO HELP OUT: FULL LIST OF PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS
Many restaurants in Britain are opting out of the Eat Out to Help Out half-price scheme because they are struggling to cope with demand and the attitude of customers
Eat Out to Help Out chaos as restaurants pull out of scheme over 'rude' diners
Restaurants are getting hate from diners who can't get a table due to the Government's half-price Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
The deals, which some outlets have dubbed “Dishy Rishi specials” after they were unveiled by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, are designed at encouraging customers back into food venues.
The hospitality industry is battling back from the near-three month lockdown aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus.
Diners eating at participating restaurants can get 50% off food and soft drinks to a maximum of £10 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays this month.
However, some restaurants have pulled out of the scheme over the antics of 'rude' and 'entitled' diners.

Simon Hulstone, the award-winning chef owner of The Elephant, which overlooks Torquay harbour, said the scheme has seen hungry punters getting very angry.
He has had to reduce the amount of tables to comply with social distancing, meaning he can't take as many bookings.
Writing on Twitter, he said: "So much hate for being full on Tues/Wed from people.

The award-winning Pyne Arms in Barnstaple said they are also getting "unbelievable" rude responses with people hanging up the phone if they can't "squeeze them in" to a table.
Another chef said there was "trench warfare" last week with the heat and the volume of customers served.
Adam Handling, who owns The Frog Group food chain said someone gave him one star in a Google review because he couldn't fit him in.
"He didn’t taste the food, but still giving 1 star. People have no idea. Even with a fractured industry, no f***s given by some people," he added.
Chef Nick Nairn said: "So much for supporting your local independents, there are some weird attitudes at the moment."
And Simon replied: "It's hard for them to grasp. We are always full in August as it's our season. It's the winter months we need exposure."
Pub worker Gary Dutton added he and his colleagues were doing around 200 percent more covers on the three days of the scheme.
"It is ridiculously busy and the waits for food are long which causes issues, the rest of the week we're doing 50% less than usual, cant wait for it to be over and back to normal," he said.
As a result, some establishments have opted to pull out of the scheme.
This includes Steph Dyer and Pete Kenwood, owners of the tiny Westleigh Inn near Bideford - who signed out after serving 98 covers in an hour and a quarter.
Kelly Hill, owner of the Tavern Inn in Newquay, said the scheme has brought her "nothing but negativity", reports the BBC.
But this kind of move has only led to more animosity with an anonymous disgruntled troller giving fake one star TripAdvisor reviews to restaurants who have pulled out of the scheme.
The Heron Inn at Malpas decided to leave the scheme because it was being inundated with customers, some of whom were “unpleasant” and responsible for “general unwelcome behaviour” when told they couldn’t be seated in the bustling venue.
While a spokesperson for the Heron Inn near Truro said it is aware its decision to pull out of the scheme has "upset a few people" but it would not tolerate "hospitality bullying".
Referring to fake one-star reviews, they added: "This is blatant abuse of the review system and will be reported."
Mr Sunak, a former waiter in an Indian restaurant, announced on Tuesday 35 million meals have been served up in the first two weeks of the scheme.
More than 85,000 restaurants have signed up.
Restaurants take 50% off the bill and claim the money back from the Government.

Man Utd outcasts eyeing European glory after being dumped at Old Trafford
Manchester United's European dreams were ended this week as they lost to Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side spurned a 1-0 lead to extend their trophy drought to three years - their joint longest run in over thirty years.
The Norwegian's first full year in charge has led to plenty of optimism despite three cup semi-final defeats.
Solskjaer deemed several players surplus to requirements in his first summer and some of them could now go on to win Europe's top competitions.
Inter Milan will take on Sevilla in the Europa League Final on Friday night while PSG booked their place in the Champions League Final.

Romelu Lukaku
The Belgian left United for a mammoth fee to team up with Antonio Conte at Inter Milan .
Lukaku had been usurped in the pecking order at United by Marcus Rashford who was Solskjaer's main man going forward.
The powerful striker has not looked back though and been a leading light for an Inter side who ran Juventus close domestically.
Lukaku has topped the goalscoring charts at the San Siro, scoring 33 times in all competitions, and grabbed two in the Europa League semi-final.

Ashley Young
The winger turned full-back left Manchester in January as he followed Lukaku to the San Siro.
Young left behind the United captaincy but has been a crucial performer since his mid-season move.
The former Aston Villa man scored four times in 23 appearances for the Serie A outfit and started in their win over Shakhtar in Germany.
Ander Herrera
The Spaniard played in PSG's win over RB Leipzig and they will now contest the Champions League Final for the first time.
Herrera was signed by Louis van Gaal back in 2014 but left Old Trafford last summer.
The midfielder was frustrated by how long it took United to come to the negotiation table and then wanted parity with the club's top earners.
Once it became clear he wasn't going to get the money he wanted he opted for a new challenge in Paris.
Under Thomas Tuchel he has struggled with injuries, but could still end the season by lifting Europe's top prize.
Alexis Sanchez
Few could blame United for letting the Chilean go following his nightmare spell, but questions will be asked as to why his decline was so steep.
Sanchez was a star at Arsenal and convinced the Old Trafford chiefs to make him the Premier League's highest paid player.
But he scored just five times in 45 games before being famred out on loan to Inter, a move he has now made permanent.
Despite all his struggles Sanchez could finish the week as a Europa League winner.

Cash strapped council will feel the consequences of the fight against coronavirus for years to come , a top think tank has warned .
A new report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies ( IFS ) warned that the crisis is pushing up councils ' spending and reducing their locally-sourced incomes by billions of pounds .
The document , produced by IFS researchers and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Local Government Association , suggests that councils ' forecasts of the spending and non-tax income pressures resulting from the crisis will exceed the additional funding made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Researchers also warn that large falls in council tax and business rates revenues will hit councils ' spending capacity next year .
They say the drop will leave some councils facing a `` difficult choice '' between depleting their reserves to low and potentially risky levels or cutting spending on important local services .
The IFS has urged the Government to provide additional support or financial flexibility to councils to help support them as they face the impact of the Covid-19 crisis .
Kate Ogden , a research economist at IFS and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that more targeted support for councils should be considered .
She said : `` Just how much the Covid-19 crisis will cost councils this year is highly uncertain , but councils ' current forecasts imply around £2 billion of unfunded spending and non-tax income pressures .
`` And while drawdowns from reserves may be sufficient to address these for many councils , particularly high pressures or low reserves mean this will unlikely be enough for all .
`` Uncertain and highly variable pressures across councils mean it may be difficult and costly for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further increases in general grant funding alone .
More targeted support should therefore be considered too . ''
David Phillips , an associate director at IFS and another author of the report , said that the Government will need to assess the financial pressures placed on councils .
He said : `` Even if more funding or flexibilities are forthcoming this year , councils will still not be out of the Covid-19 woods .
`` Financial pressures will continue into next year and beyond , not least because shortfalls in council tax and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reflected in councils ' main accounts .
`` In the upcoming Spending Review , the Government will therefore need to assess these pressures .
`` It must ensure that the resources made available to local Government are consistent with its expectations of the range and quality of services councils should provide as well as the role it sees them playing in the social and economic recovery from the Covid-19 crisis . ''
Councillor James Jamieson , chairman of the Local Government Association , said that councils must be able to lead their communities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : `` The funding already received from Government has been a positive step and recognises the crucial role councils have played in keeping the country going throughout the Covid-19 pandemic .

`` Councils need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of this crisis and support recovery , but they can not do this successfully and also address pressures in social care if they are having to focus on addressing budget cuts .
`` The LGA wants to continue working with Government on the further measures and funding needed to protect local council services . ''

This includes £4.3 billion funding , compensation for irrecoverable income @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread their tax deficits .
`` For relevant losses of sales , fees and charges , over and above the first 5 % of planned income , we 're covering 75p in the pound for revenue they have n't been able to generate in areas including parking fees and museum entry .

Data from Public Health England reveals that 80 areas have an infection rate of more than 10 cases per 100,000 of the population - with 53 of them recording increases in the past week
Alarming new data shows 15 places where coronavirus infection rates have soared in the past week - including several that have previously been under the radar.
Manchester and Salford are among the areas in local lockdown where the killer virus is on the rise, alongside Blackburn with Darwen, which had seemed to be on the right track.
But several areas not currently covered by restrictions are experiencing rising infections.
Birmingham has also seen a steep rise in cases, Public Health England figures show.
Northampton has England's highest rate - thanks to an outbreak at the Greencore sandwich factory - but is not currently covered by restrictions.
Craven in North Yorkshire, Melton in Leicestershire, Barnsley, Woking, Richmond-upon-Thames, East Staffordshire and Coventry have experience notably increases in the last week.
And Oadby and Wigston, an area just outside Leicester that was previously on local lockdown, has experienced a jump again.
Across England there are 80 areas with a rate of more than 10 cases per 100,000 of the population.
Of these, 53 have seen increases in the past seven days, with parts of the Midlands and London appearing to show worrying rises.
The areas recording notable week-on-week jumps, with those not on local lockdown in bold, include:
Northampton (up from 38.7 to 124.2)
Blackburn with Darwen (up from 68.1 to 86.2)
Manchester (up from 37.3 to 47.6)
Salford (up from 27.4 to 36.7)
Kirklees (up from 30.0 to 35.7)
Birmingham (up from 19.7 to 31.7)
Bury (up from 26.7 to 33.0)
Melton (up from 13.7 to 25.4)
Oadby and Wigston (up from 12.3 to 24.6)
Woking (up from 7.9 to 22.8)
Craven (up from 1.8 to 22.8)
Barnsley (up from 14.2 to 22.3)
Richmond upon Thames (up from 5.1 to 19.2)
East Staffordshire( up from 6.7 to 17.5)
Coventry (up from 16.1 to 21.3)
In Leicester the rate continues to fall, down from 66.6 to 50.5 with 179 new cases.
Last week leader of Northamptonshire County Council Jonathan Nunn said: "We were a while ago stood at a fork in the road.
"Let's hope we have taken that road away from a local lockdown although we have to say at this stage it is not certain."
Birmingham's director of public health Dr Justin Varney said it was likely the city would feature in the national "watch list" of places most at risk of intervention within days, with no sign of the current rise in cases easing off.

"She can’t wait to give him a cuddle and say hello to her new baby brother."
Deputy sister on the neonatal ward Lynsey Lord, who helped with the planning of the surprise proposal said: "It was such a special moment to be part of.
"It’s not often we get the chance to be involved in a proposal on the unit and this was certainly a first for me, but it was so lovely to see the family all so happy, especially during what has been such a difficult time for everyone.
"It was so nice to help celebrate such happy news.”
Cobie is due home in a few weeks.
