The 1% Club viewers left baffled as ‘easy’ Christmas quiz question wipes out contestants – would you have got it?
LEE Mack’s The 1% Club has returned for a festive special, with Christmas themed questions already catching out contestants.
The ITV show sees contestants faced with questions designed to test how their brain works, rather than their intelligence level.
They have to use their logic, reasoning and common sense as they are whittled down to one final question that only 1% of the country can answer correctly.
This is all in an effort to try and take home the jackpot prize of up to £100,000.
This year’s Christmas special featured festive themed questions, but it wasn’t long before those trying to win the money were stumped.
With the second question focusing on a Christmas ‘spot the difference’, viewers at home were left stunned to find that 28 contestants had failed to get the answer right.
The question pictured a festive scene where contestants had to spot what was differing between the two, with the answer being a missing pair of Santa’s legs.
Taking to X, one viewer wrote: “28 people getting the second question wrong!”
Another shared: “28 people. Wow”.
“What on earth were those 28 people looking at?” asked another baffled viewer.
This wasn’t the only question that viewers at home were shocked to see the contestants struggling with, as some questioned whether the Christmas special quiz had been made ‘easier’.
One viewer shared on social media: “these questions are exceptionally easy. how anyone’s getting them wrong i’ll never know.”
Another simply put: “Too easy.”
The festive special sees comedian Lee Mack back at the helm of the quiz show, which won Best Quiz Game Show for the third year in a row at the NTA Awards.
The series has also been recommissioned for a fifth series, with ITV bringing back the show for this festive special and also a charity one for Soccer Aid.
A source previously told us: “The show has well and truly proved its popularity with viewers, and so it’s only natural to bring it back for not one, but two more rounds.
“This will also include two Christmas specials, which will air on ITV after the main series have run.”
Previous episodes of The 1% Club are available on ITVX.
