Lee Mack was left open-mouthed after 14 contestants on The 1% Club were eliminated by an early question. 

The popular ITV quiz show sees 100 contestants answer questions in an attempt to win a huge cash prize. 

Hosted by Lee Mack, 56, the programme’s questions were put to the public, with the percentage who got it right determining the difficulty of each round.

Aptly, the final question is one that just 1 per cent of the public answered correctly.

Saturday’s episode saw a considerable amount of people get a relatively early question wrong.

The 60% question read: ‘Which of these ʙuттerflies is exactly the same on both sides.’

Shockingly, 14 people were knocked out after not being able to figure it out, bringing the prize pot up to £20,000

Shockingly, 14 people were knocked out after not being able to figure it out, bringing the prize pot up to £20,000. 

‘Wow we lost 14 of you there, lets have a look at the answer,’ Lee commented.

The answer was B.

During the same episode, fans were left stumped by an ‘impossible’ final question that they couldn’t solve ‘in a million years’.

The final question unsurprisingly proved to be the most difficult and left three out of the four players who made it to the final stuck, as well as many viewers. 

It read: ‘What is the lowest number to have the same value as ten times the number of letters in its name?’

Only Joshua correctly said 50 and won a whopping £98,000. The reasoning behind the answer was ‘fifty’ has five letters and five multiplied by ten is 50.

It left many viewers baffled too and some took to social media to share their thoughts on the question.

One posted on X: ‘Wouldn’t have gotten that 1% question in a million years.’

Another said: ‘I couldn’t even process what that question was asking me in time never mind work out the answer!’

While someone else commented: ‘I still don’t get this question having read it a further 800 times in 3 minutes’ 

A fourth penned: ‘I always think it’s cruel to have a maths question for the 1% question!!’

A contestant who appeared on The 1% Club recently shared some behind-the-scenes secrets H๏τ on the heels of his stint on the popular quiz show. 

Kyle Talbot, 27, featured on an episode back in February.

During the same episode, fans were left stumped by an ‘impossible’ final question that they couldn’t solve ‘in a million years’ 

The team leader from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, first found the show accidentally whilst ‘flicking through’ TV channels one day and decided to apply last year.

After going through the application process, which even involved a quiz over zoom in the style of The 1% Club, Kyle found himself in the studio with Lee in November.

Though he didn’t make it past the second question, Kyle described the ‘surreal experience’ to MailOnline and shared his thoughts on the show.

Kyle revealed how he believes contestants were ‘strategically placed and seated’ next to specific people during the quiz.   

He explained: ‘Let’s say for example I’m from Grimsby, we’ve got a football rivalry with Wrexham quite a bit, I was sat next to someone from Wrexham. I think that’s done purposely, which is a good laugh.’

Kyle described himself as ‘quite a big fan of Lee Mack’.

The presenter regularly jokes around with contestants during the show and Kyle said Lee came across as ‘polite, a good laugh and kind of what you want him to be in a way’.

The 27-year-old added: ‘It’s a great experience being in the room with him as well.’

The 60% question read: ‘Which of these ʙuттerflies is exactly the same on both sides.’

The filming process took just over seven hours for Kyle’s episode, including a warm-up comedian who helped everyone to feel comfortable.

The entire day resulted in the single, one-hour instalment that aired on Saturday.

Contestants were given one break and Kyle explained how halfway through filming, they were given the chance to have a dance and let loose in a ‘disco atmosphere sort of thing,’ which Lee joined in with.

Kyle described the day as a ‘surreal experience’ and although the cameras are not placed ‘in sight’, he explained that knowing you’re being filmed for TV still played on his mind.

For his episode, he described the questions as a ‘mixed bag’ and said: ‘The biggest achievement for everybody going on is making sure you get the first question right. At least don’t go out the first, which luckily I did get the first question right at least.’

Though Kyle got the 1% question correct during the audition quiz, he went out on the second question with 25 other contestants and admitted: ‘The one I went out on, I would say it was probably more understood by older people.’

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
