ITV The 1% Club viewers fume over 'terrible' question as they say answer is 'wrong'

Fans of The 1% Club expressed their frustration after branding one question on tonight's programme as "terrible", primarily because they believed the answer was incorrect.

Presented by comedian Lee Mack, the programme features 100 contestants whose numbers are progressively reduced as they attempt to tackle 15 logic-based questions.

As each question advances, the challenge intensifies, starting with a question that 90% of survey participants managed to answer correctly.

Following each round, the difficulty levels ramp up significantly, with contestants confronting questions that increasingly fewer of those surveyed got right.

This culminates in a final, exceptionally challenging question that only 1% are expected to answer correctly, reports the Liverpool Echo.

It was tonight's 20% question which sparked heated debate amongst home viewers.

The question displayed a photograph from which contestants had to determine which prominent UK figure this rhyming code represented. The image featured a deer and a llama which supposedly rhymed with Keir Starmer. Nevertheless, not everyone was convinced.

Jean remarked "That doesn't rhyme, Llama does not rhyme with Starmer. Terrible question" - with two others concurring, stating "not even close", and "nope not at all".

Another tweet declared: "But that doesn't even make sense". Sharing a similar view, Linda questioned: "How does that rhyme at all?"

This follows the "most difficult question ever" broadcast on the programme during last week's episode.

It was a 10% question that has earned recognition as the "most challenging" in the show's history. In 2023, this challenging puzzle saw seven contestants eliminated from the programme and three others only progressing to the next stage by using their passes.

The question, which appeared on the Australian edition of the show, reads: "Edna's birthday is on the sixth of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the '?' of January."

Participants have 30 seconds to figure out their responses, with viewers at home encouraged to join in and attempt to reach the coveted 1% Club.

Whilst this birthday-themed riddle wasn't a 1% question, it still baffled 90% of those surveyed. It also sparked considerable discussion amongst the programme's fans, which has steadily built a following since its launch in April 2022.
