TIPPING Point viewers were left cringing when Ben Shephard asked one of the contestants why she’d been engaged for five years.

The show’s host was outraged on Katie’s behalf that she still hadn’t made it down the aisle with her boyfriend Jason.

In between rounds, Ben got chatting to contestant Katie who revealed she had been engaged to her partner for five years.

Shocked, Ben replied: "Five years, Katie...Isn't that a long time to be engaged?"

Cue nervous laughter and looking incredibly awkward and flustered, she replied : "It is... He keeps putting things off so..."

Ben, probably thinking he sounded caring, replied: "I can't believe that!"

Katie issued another nervous giggle before giving poor Jason an out, telling Ben: "Yeah, we've always got something in the way of it...You know...

"We've just recently bought our own house and we've just been doing that up so it's been taking a backseat.”

Meanwhile some mean viewers took to Twitter with their own advice for poor Katie.

One wrote:"He keeps putting things off maybe he’s giving you a hint Katie #TippingPoint ".

 Katie didn't do very well on the show after all and left

Another added: "Katie.. engaged for 5 years and he keeps putting it off? Take the hint love #tippingpoint".

And a third penned: “Me thinks he doesn't want to marry you Katie”
