Dan Farmer said his mum had always been a 'massive Martin Lewis' fan, and after reading it himself, he soon won the top prize on ITV's Tipping Point
A 30-year-old train driver has bagged a £10,000 jackpot on ITV 's Tipping Point and credits this success to Martin Lewis' MoneySavingExpert . Dan Farmer, from Hull, won the show's top prize in 2022, after walking away empty-handed on BBC's Pointless three years prior.
"I remember reading the line which said, 'sending off application forms and having telephone interviews isn't that scary – because you are just talking about yourself'. It took away the fear for me because it was so simple; all you really have to do is be yourself and let your personality shine through – so that's what I did."
During the audition for Tipping Point, Dan kept reminding himself to be authentic in line with MSE's advice, which helped ease his nerves. Fast forward to now, and he's not only won £10,000 but is using this to furnish a new home. Beyond promoting authenticity, MSE suggests it's worth going for the lesser-known shows before the big hitters. Even if you're dreaming of a chance to win Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, securing a spot on a show like this is quite a challenge.
