During the show Tommy revealed to Alexander and Richard how his daughter was due to give birth at any moment.
“She’s five days overdue to giving us our first grandchild, so it seems appropriate that I’m back in the film studio," he said.
Richard, 52, then joked that Tommy had shared the news to get inside the other contestants' heads.
“He’s saying to you, ‘Listen, it’d be very very classy if you let me win’
“That’s what he’s saying, isn’t it? It’d be a lovely little gift to his first grandson or granddaughter.”
But with a score of 146 points Tommy was eliminated in the first round.
Saying goodbye to him, Alexander, 52, said it meant Tommy could now get to the hospital before wishing his daughter Charlotte and the new grandchild well.
Pointless is available to stream now on the iPlayer.
