Clarke Carlisle wins £100k on The 1% Club for Soccer Aid
Comedian Lee Mack returned to present the show but this time he was joined by 100 celebrities and sports stars as opposed to the general public.
They were put to the test in the quiz where 'the questions have nothing to do with remembering facts, but are all about logic and common sense', explains the Radio Times.
The aim of the game was to make it to the end, answering the 1% question correctly to take home up to £100,000 for charity and they were successful.

At the very end of the show, only two celebrities remained with a chance at making the overall donation total £100,000.
Unlike regular versions of the show, the celebrities were working together rather than against each other like members of the public would.
While comedian Lloyd Griffith got the final question incorrect, former footballer Clarke Carlisle answered it correctly and won the prize money.
Carlisle has also previously been named Britain's Brainiest Footballer.
The prize fund included £1,000 from celebrities who were out of the show, having answered a question incorrectly.
Former Leeds United defender Clarke Carlisle (once crowned Britain's Brainiest Footballer) has won £100k for UNICEF by absolutely smashing the 1% Club without even using a PASS.
Leeds That 🍾👌👏🔥💪#footballnews #champions #marchingontogether #championship #footballlife pic.twitter.com/jIeHWdwPaA
ITV said: 'Find out how clever you are as Lee Mack presents the quiz where it doesn't matter how good you are at quizzes and where 100 contestants could win up to 100,000 pounds.'
As pointed out by the Radio Times, the show isn't about knowing facts, it's about using your brain to answer the questions.
Each player gets one pass which they can use to help them skip a question but once they have used it, an incorrect answer takes them out of the game.
If they make it to the 1% question, they are asked to go down to the stage for the final question where they see if they are winners.

First Love Island bombshell is 'sexy Vegas pool party waitress'
Love Island host Maya Jama teased the first bombshell to descend on the villa, hopefully causing lots of drama for fans of the show - and for the first time ever, an American contestant joins the cast Love Island 's first bombshell has been revealed as a stunning Las Vegas pool party waitress. Antonia Laites looks after the VIP cabana huts at the swanky Fontainebleau Resort in the gambling mecca. The brunette is the first American bombshell to take part in the reality dating show, which kicks off on ITV2 on Monday (June 9). She will join the other islanders as a bombshell - a role usually reserved for the best-looking contestants. Antonia has also worked in Miami as a pool server, while attending Florida Atlantic University to study Public Management. She moved to Vegas and has worked in Sin City since February last year, according to her LinkedIn profile. The hospitality professional went into the villa on day one, meaning she's likely to have been ruffling feathers since the get-go. Maya Jama teased Antonia's appearance on the show with a voice note she played, which was posted on the official Love Island Instagram. The video was captioned: "A voice note from the first Bombshell? I'm listening." Maya could be heard at the start of the clip dropping one of the show's signature lines: "Oh, I've got a text! I've been expecting this one." The TV personality heard an American voice say: "Hey Maya, I heard you want more twists. How about an American bombshell? Get ready, I'm on my way." Although the voice note didn't give the name of the sender, it did confirm that Love Island UK will be welcoming their first ever US islander. Maya ended the teaser, adding: "Alright, there's the sweet, sweet sounds of an American." Creative director of Love Island, ITV's Mike Spencer-Hayter, previously revealed how the Love Island bombshells are usually cast. He told The Sun: "Do you know what I always say, the cast get released and then the ex's come forward. And that's how you get the bombshells. "They will have to go through the process, but we have already a pool of really really good bombshells lined up. There's some people in that mix that are really under the radar as well. "The casting team have been working for quite a while now. Gone to lots of different events and been out and about looking for people and I think they've done a brilliant job. We always have those killer bombshells to come in." Meanwhile, the rest of the Love Island cast has been confirmed, with the usual array of models, personal trainers and actors, all looking for love (and brand deals). Maya returns as host for the twelfth season, with more drama than ever promised by producers. Director Mike confirmed that viewers can expect a big surprise in week one. With fans' speculating about what's in store, he said it's not going to be another reality star or celeb, like Joey Essex. The ITV boss gave more clues, confirming "no former Love Islanders are coming in this year". While fans are kept guessing, he promises to "keep it exciting", adding that producers are set to "tear up the rule book a bit."
