The 1% Club returned to ITV screens on Saturday night and saw contestant Sarah Hannon humorously blame her defeat on host Lee Mack.
The hit show, hosted by comedian Lee, saw 100 contestants compete for a prize of up to £100,000 by answering questions that only one per cent of the country could answer correctly.
In a repeat episode, contestant Sarah lost the final round and said it was Lee’s mistake.
Lee posed a question: “What is the one item that does not fit into a list of five: a cat, a bat, a coat, a hat and a rug?”
After nine contestants failed to answer correctly, Lee revealed the answer, stating: “Cat, bat and rug all rhyme, but coat doesn’t.”
The 1% Club returned to ITV screens on Saturday night and saw contestant Sarah Hannon humorously blame her defeat on host Lee Mack.
In the repeat episode, contestant Sarah lost the final round and said the mistake was Lee’s fault, she said, ‘I’m going to blame you because I’m starstruck.’
When asked about her incorrect answer, Sarah replied: “I’m going to blame you because I’m starstruck.”
Lee replied, “You look like Minnie Driver,” which led to a humorous exchange between the two.
Sarah asked: “Minnie Driver, what’s that?” and Lee joked: “I’m not criticising you. You don’t look like a Mini driver, you look like the kind of woman who drives a Mini.”
And she added: “No, Minnie Driver. There is an actress called Minnie Driver and you look like Minnie Driver.”
Sarah replied, “I’m too young for that.”
Before Lee clarified: ‘No, Minnie Driver when she was younger.’
Sarah looked confused when Lee joked: “Sorry, I’m not Minnie Driver, I’m Richard Hammond.”
After the round, host Lee revealed that those who advanced would now be eligible to win £20,000.
Lee replied, “You look like Minnie Driver,” prompting a humorous exchange between the pair.
In a previous episode, what initially appeared to be a straightforward question from the 30 percent section angered some fans of the show.
The answer was expected to be that Amrit is 26, making his grandfather 78, but some viewers suggested an alternative answer.
He said: ‘So the £1,000 from everyone who got the question wrong now goes into the prize pool, so let’s see what’s happened to the total.’
Turning to the screen, Lee revealed: “It’s £20,000.”
In a previous episode, what initially appeared to be a straightforward question from the 30 percent section angered some fans of the show.
It read: ‘Amrit and his grandfather share a birthday. Their birthday balloons arrive out of order. Amrit’s grandfather is three times his age. How old is Amrit?’
Below the question were four golden balloons in the shapes of the numbers six, eight, seven and two.
The answer was expected to be that Amrit is 26, which makes his grandfather 78.
However, one person commented on the show’s official Instagram page, stating: “My other half is convinced her answer of 29 is also correct.”
They added: ‘There’s no string on those balloons, so you could turn the 6 over. 3×29=87 What do you think? Was he still in the game or was he out?’
Viewers also took to Twitter to offer their opinions, with one person writing: “It could have been 2 answers which is weird… change the 6 to 9 and it could have been 29 and 87.”
Someone else shared: ‘Could it also be 29, i.e. a third of 87? If I had put that in the study I would expect an appeal! Balloons have been used to change the 6 and 9 in previous questions!’
While another person posted: ‘Hmm, they should have put ropes on the bases of the balloons if they wanted to stop people from turning the 6 for the 29 and the 87.’
