The 1% Club eliminates 15 players on difficult letters question – but are you smarter and can answer in under 30 secs?
THE 1% Club eliminated 15 players on a difficult letter question - but are you smarter and could you have solved it in 30 seconds? Hosted by Lee Mack, contestants put their logic and common sense to the test in the hit ITV quiz. 3 3 Lee was on top form on the ITV favourite in which he is tasked with finding who is the brainiest of his 100 audience members. Every week, fans see the players whittled down as they fail to advance past the increasingly difficult questions. This time around was no different, as 15 people failed to correctly work out the 70% puzzle. Reading the question to the audience, Lee asked: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "Is a sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet but which letter appears the most?" Lee then gave the contestants the choice of A, E, I or O. And as the thirty seconds counted down he joked: "The foxes around my way are very cocky. "They knock on the door to remind me to put the bins out - I'm joking, my wife puts the bins out." Once 30 seconds was up, it was revealed 15 people had given the wrong answer and were eliminated. The correct answer was O, as it was explained: "Many people think it's E as it's the most commonly used letter in the alphabet. The 1% Club knocks out 25 players on 'easy' picture question - can you get it? "But it is in fact O which appears four times in the sentence." Since debuting three years ago, the game show is well-known for its tricky puzzles. A previous episode saw a whopping 30 people wiped out on a smiley face brainteaser. The 1% Club's Most Difficult Questions The 1% Club sees 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot. Here are just some of the show's most difficult teasers. Players had to compare and contrast three images of butterflies then explain which of the butterflies were exactly the same on both sides. Find the image and answer here. Players were shown groups of six symbols then asked which were in the same order whether you read them from left to right or right to left. Find the image and answer here. Players were asked how many different combinations were there of displaying four digits on one hand. Find the answer here. Peter had recently found his old diary that he'd written in secret code but he couldn't remember how to decipher what he wrote. Players were asked to crack the code and find out what the bold word was. WH89 I GR1W UP I WA92 21 B8 A 5L1RI72. Find the image and answer here. Players were tasked with working out how many eyes they could see in an image, which was made up of letters, symbols and emojis. Find the image and the answer here. A 1% question was based on a grid of numbers going in ascending order from 1 to 49. Starting on 25, the middle square, SEEN took you to square 27. From there, NEW took you to 20. From there, which square would SEWN take you to? Find the image and the answer here. And finally, an easy one - What common food in bold has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER If you really don't know you can find the answer here. Shown on screen were 18 emoji-style faces arranged in three rows of six. Once the time limit was up, Lee revealed 30 people had answered incorrectly and were therefore out. On another occasion, 18 people went out on a tricky alphabet question. Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that did not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet. The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable. Meanwhile a contestant has revealed a strict rule that might get you kicked off the show instantly. 3 The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

90s music star dies after battle with cirrhosis
90s music icon Douglas McCarthy has passed away at the age of 58, his bandmates confirmed. Born and raised in Essex, the musician co-founded electric body music band Nitzer Ebb, who thrived throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. The group announced his passing on their official social media channels on Thursday. Their statement read: 'It is with a heavy heart that we regret to inform that Douglas McCarthy passed away this morning of June 11th, 2025. 'We ask everyone to please be respectful of Douglas, his wife, and family in this difficult time. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We appreciate your understanding and will share more information soon.' While Douglas's cause of death is yet to be confirmed, he was forced to pull out of a European tour with Nitzer Ebb in March 2024 due to liver cirrhosis. Douglas said at the time that the disease had been caused by 'years of alcohol abuse... for over two years I have not been drinking, but recovery is a long process.' Nitzer Ebb was formed by McCarthy and bandmates Bon Harris and David Gooday in Chelmsford, Essex, in 1982 before the band went onto pioneer the British industrial music scene. With a stripped down and aggressive style, the group shot to stardom by combining combined synthesizers with incredibly raw vocals. Front man Douglas was at the forefront of his band's success, leading Nitzer Ebb with a style he described as 'shouting and pointing'. The band released their debut album That Total Age in 1987 before going onto release a string of projects the following decade including Showtime and Ebbhead. They broke up in 1996 but got back together in 2006 and had been touring ever since. Later this year, McCarthy and his bandmates had been set to embark on a tour of North America. A host of supporters paid tribute to Douglas following his death this week, including co-founder Bon Harris. The 59-year-old described his band mate as 'one of the most extraordinary people I have ever known', calling his passing a 'profound loss'. Other tributes read: 'I hope he knew how much he was loved and appreciated by his fans', 'Just heartbreaking. Very underrated band and he was a very nice guy when I met him in 1990. RIP.', 'So sad to learn of his passing. Just saw NE (Nitzer Ebb) without him last month in Detroit and, of course, it wasn't the same without him. His voice and sound was so influential and it rocked my world in the 90s. Was lucky to get to see them perform 3 times. Was said to learn his liver was failing from alcohol abuse and he had to quit touring because of it. RIP Douglas McCarthy!', 'A true pioneer. Absolute energy and passion into every song. Really struggling to come to terms with this'.

Ex on the Beach legend announces he's engaged to stunning pilates teacher ten years after finding fame
EX on the Beach legend Joss Mooney has announced he's engaged to a stunning pilates teacher. Ten years after finding fame on the hit MTV show, personal trainer Joss, 38, shared a series of snaps from the magic moment in Marbella, Spain. Posed on one knee in front of his partner Emma, he gazed up with a beaming smile in the courtyard of a stunning villa. Dubai -based Emma covered her mouth in shock before pulling Joss in for an adorable kiss. Wearing a sparkly silver minidress, she flashed the sparkler for the camera while tucking into a tasty-looking banquet with her other half. Joss, donning a casual blue shirt, puffed away on a cigar while enjoying the special day. In his caption, he penned a romantic open letter to his new fiancee, telling her he's on "cloud nine" and promising to "stand by her side" forever. He wrote: "Dear Emma, As far as clichés go, I've spent most of my life chasing things. Success, experiences, material rewards. I thought those were the things that would make me happy. And yes, I've built a good life but deep down, something was always missing. "Now I know why… And I could look back and say it was wasted time, but the truth is, it all led me to you. "You came into my life at a time and place I least expected. I wasn't searching anymore and I'd stopped looking for 'the one.' And then there you were. "I still remember the first time I spoke to you. The way you looked at me. That moment is engraved in my memory forever, along with last night when I dropped to one knee. "Now I truly understand what happiness is. It's not what you have, it's who you share it with. Everything else is just extra. Watch as Helen Briggs reveals she's given birth to fourth baby "Right now, I feel like I'm on cloud nine. The old me would've kept this to himself. I'd of cringed at this kind of message…but today, I'm proud. I'm proud to say I've found my person. "Thank you, Emma. For loving me, for believing in me and for making me the man I am today. "I promise to love you, protect you and stand by your side for the rest of our lives. 10.06.2025." The couple received heaps of support from their celeb friends in the comments section. Towie star Jasmin Walia commented: "Josssss (lyn) so happy for you !" Geordie Shore 's Kyle Christie added: "Congratulations to both of you, always thought you were already married @roguesnaps." Love Island alum Tom Clare chimed in with: "Congratulations!" with Scott Thomas saying: "go on the boy," followed by a string of heart emojis. Claudia Fogarty, Gabby Allen, Holly Hagan, Cally-Jane Beech, Davide Sanclimenti and Anton Danyluk also sent words of support. Joss first rose to fame in 2014 when he joined Ex on the Beach series one, arriving as Talitha Minnis's ex. He also had flings on the show with Emma Jane Lang and Chloe Goodman, and returned for Ex on the Beach: All Stars. He later competed on MTV's The Challenge, becoming known for his athletic ability and competitive streak. Off-screen, Joss had a short-lived romance with Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison and was later linked to Shelby Billingham, Olivia Walsh, Kayleigh Morris and Ellie O'Donnell. But in recent years, the fitness coach has kept his love life mostly under wraps - until now. He and Emma have been together for over two years, currently living between London and Dubai. Joss Mooney's illustrious love life HE made waves on Ex on the Beach over a decade ago as one of the show's most notorious heartthrobs. Since then, Joss Mooney has had his fair share of on-screen drama and off-screen romances - but now, the fitness star has finally found lasting love after years of living the Lothario lifestyle. Talitha Minnis (2014) Joss entered Ex on the Beach Series 1 as Talitha's ex. Their fiery reunion set the tone for the drama-packed season, which aired in April 2014. Emma Jane Lang (2014) She arrived halfway through the series as another one of Joss's exes. The pair had a steamy connection, but things didn't last off-screen. Chloe Goodman (2014) Chloe and Joss shared a brief flirtation in the villa, adding to his growing rep as a ladies' man. Shelby Billingham (2014) Joss and Shelby had history before the show — and when she showed up in episode 6, it sparked more tension. Rumours of an off-screen reunion followed. Vicky Pattison (Late 2014 – Early 2015) After Ex on the Beach, Joss was linked to Geordie Shore's Vicky. The pair were pictured together several times but never made it official. Kayleigh Morris (2016) Joss returned for Ex on the Beach: All Stars in 2016 as Kayleigh's ex. Their on-screen chemistry reignited interest in their past, though it didn't last long. Olivia Walsh (2016) Also in Series 5, Olivia arrived as one of Joss's exes. Viewers saw sparks — but nothing serious materialised beyond filming. Ellie O'Donnell (2019) Joss went Instagram official with influencer Ellie in 2019. The couple looked loved-up in snaps but quietly split after a few months. Emma Louise (2023 – now) After years of high-profile flings, Joss went Instagram official with pilates instructor Emma Louise in early 2023. The couple now split their time between London and Dubai. On June 10, 2025, he popped the question during a romantic dinner in Marbella — and she said yes. 5 5 5 5
