A brain-busting number question wiped out 23 contestants on Saturday’s episode of The 1% Club – but would YOU have survived it?

The most recent instalment of the popular show – which is hosted by Lee Mack – saw 100 new contestants battle it out to go home with the hefty prize fund. 

The show sees the players get asked a question in each round, but as the compeтιтion goes on, the questions are supposedly harder to answer. 

But unfortunately the 45% round saw many of the players exit the game show after failing to answer the question correctly. 

Host Lee asked: ‘Including the work “and”, what is the only number out of the numbers below that uses every vowel exactly once when spelt out?’ 

The contestants could pick from the numbers 107, 206 and 305.

A brain-busting number question wiped out 23 contestants on Saturday’s episode of The 1% Club – but would YOU have survived it?

But unfortunately the 45% round saw many of the players exit the game show after failing to answer the question correctly

Host Lee asked: ‘Including the work “and”, what is the only number out of the numbers below that uses every vowel exactly once when spelt out?’

They were given 30 seconds to work it out and revealed: ‘Right we lost 23 people on that one. 

‘Let’s have a look at the answer…

‘It is B. 206. And there in red are the vowels.’ 

23 contestants ultimately fell prey to the tricky conundrum. 

However, there was a huge success story from the show on Saturday after a single lucky player managed to bag a whopping £96,000. 

Lee asked: ‘I keep forgetting my four-digit pin number. I know each digit is higher than the previous digit but I need this diagram to remember it. What is my four-digit pin number?’

The question was followed by a sequence of letters.

Lee asked: ‘I keep forgetting my four-digit pin number. I know each digit is higher than the previous digit but I need this diagram to remember it. What is my four-digit pin number?’

On this occasion, just one contestant out of the three remaining managed to get the very last question correct

Lee revealed the answer to be 1489, with the numbers written out in the diagram. 

Dominic was the only player to answer correctly and bagged the huge prize pot. 

‘It’s 1489 which means Dominic Jackson, you have just joined the 1% club and have won everything in the prize pot, £96,000,’ Lee exclaimed. 

During the same episode, host Lee Mack left viewers outraged after making a ‘brutal’ comment about a contestant’s appearance.

Lee made the comment after asking contestant Diane Moorland what she would do with the prize money if she emerged victorious. 

Diane said that she’d love to get a nose job with any potential windfall.

While Lee appeared shocked at first, when Diane insisted that she has never liked the shape of her nose, he eventually concurred that cosmetic surgery would be a good idea.  

He said: ‘To be fair, it does look like thought that if you took your glᴀsses off the nose would come off as well.’ 

While Diane herself laughed at Lee’s response, it did not get a positive reaction from viewers. 

Only one player, called Dominic (pictured), answered correctly and bagged the huge £96,000 prize pot

Lee made the comment during Saturday’s episode of the hit gameshow after asking contestant Diane Moorland what she would do with the prize money if she emerged victorious 

They were quick to take to social media so share their outrage about the host’s insensitive comment. 

One even said it would only have been acceptable if Lee had cleared the remark with  the contestant prior to filming.

The outraged viewers wrote: ‘Gosh, I hope the lady with the nose cleared it for Lee to take the p*** before the show. That was brutal!’;

‘F*** sake Lee. She’ll definitely have a complex about her nose now!’;

‘It was so mean of him.’;

‘That was quite insensitive.’
