A contestant on The 1% Club left Lee Mack shocked with a swipe at ‘smelly’ Brad Pitt after a surprising run-in with the Hollywood superstar.

Saturday’s instalment of the ITV quiz show saw 100 contestants attempt to win a huge cash prize.

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 quiz is one that just 1 per cent of the public answered correctly.

One contestant, Neil, opened up about his career after he was knocked out of the game during the 40% question. 

He revealed he was a ‘professional archer’ and had been teaching the sport for ‘about 24 years’.

Lee asked: ‘Do you teach a level, Olympics or something? 

Neil explained he taught a range ‘from novice up to famous people’.

He divulged: ‘I’ve taught Brad Pitt’s kids.’

‘What was he like, Brad Pitt?’ Lee asked.

Neil then went on to make a shocking confession about the American film star and producer.

He revealed: ‘He was very tall, he was a bit smelly at the time, I must admit.’

‘Wow, most people end those anecdotes with, ‘What a lovely man,’ Lee quipped. ‘How was he?’ ‘He was quite tall and smelly to be honest with you.’

It isn’t the first time people have commented on Brad’s smell.

Last year, Canadian actor Jason Priestley recalled how he used live with Brad.

According to Entertainment Weekly, he said on Live With Kelly And Mark: ‘Brad wasn’t as bad as my other roommate, who was an absolute disaster, but Brad was okay.’

He added: ‘We used to play this game, all of us, to see who could go the longest without showering. I think about it now, I’m like ‘Dude, how disgusting! What were you thinking?’

The star revealed Brad would go the longest without showering and often won the contest.

‘I don’t think he does that anymore, but back then, he could go a long time without showering,’ he said.

During a previous episode, the 60% question proved to be tricky for many contestants. 

Lee asked: ‘Richard is older than Clare. Jojo is older than Hennie. Hennie is older than Richard. Who is the oldest?’

The options included, Richard, Clare, Jojo or Hennie. 

When the 30 second counter ticked down, it was revealed that a whopping 14 players were wiped out of the compeтιтion and had answered incorrectly. 

The right answer was revealed to be Jojo.

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
