ITV bosses have confirmed the return date of award-winning game show The 1% Club. 

The smash hit ITV show, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, 56, launched in April 2022 and features a studio audience who all face ‘logic and common-sense’ style questions in a bid to win up to £100,000. 

In September last year, ITV revealed a fourth and fifth series would be airing in 2025, much to fans’ delight. 

And now, they have confirmed that the highly-anticipated series will be returning to screens once again on January 25 at 8:30pm. 

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the show’s official account revealed the new series will begin at the end of January. 

Posting a snap of the calendar date January 25, they told eager followers: ‘Put it in the diary! See you soon. #the1percentclub.’

Fans then flocked to the comment section to express their excitement claiming the news had ‘made their day’. 

One fan wrote: ‘This has made my day, can’t wait.’; ‘Cannot wait to watch.’; ‘YESSSSSS.’ 

While previously speaking about fronting the show, Lee told The Sun: ‘Let’s be honest, the fact that I haven’t accidentally given a hundred grand to the wrong person or read out the answer instead of the question is as much a surprise to me as it is to everyone else.

‘I’m really delighted that ITV is risking me steering this ship once again. I can’t wait to discover more of the nation’s brainboxes.’ 

The 1% Club is an ITV quiz show created by Dean Nabarro and Andy Auerbach. 

The show features a series of increasingly difficult questions, starting with one that 90 percent of the country can answer before ending with a question only one percent can answer. 

The show won a National Television Award in 2023 for its category of Quiz and Game Show, beating The Wheel, Beat The Chasers, Richard Osman’s House of Games, and Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win. 

The hit ITV programme regularly pulls in more than four million viewers since its launch in 2022.

However, viewers have often criticised the show for its ‘easy’ questions and last month fans were shocked when one question caught players out. 

During a recent episode, participants were presented with three different shapes and were asked which square has the largest area.

Five players missed the point of the question as they tried to do the maths and work out the biggest area.

They had not realised that in fact there could only be one possible answer because there was only one square on display.

The other two shapes on display were rectangles, meaning that the maths in the question was irrelevant.

When host Lee asked one contestant what had happened, he said: ‘I just completely idiotically looked at the area!’

One contestant who got it right explained that they had instinctively worked the area out before reading the question properly.

Just 25% of the British public had correctly guessed the answer to the question before it was put to the players on TV.

But viewers immediately took to social media to voice their dismay and disbelief that some had gotten the question wrong.

One user wrote on X: ‘Only 25 percent of the British public got this question CORRECT?’ and added a sad face emoji.

Another said: ‘I’m [not going to lie] at first instinct I got it wrong too, then I saw the question again’

A third wrote: ‘Went for B at first then read the question again.’
