The 1% Club player makes embarrassing blunder on question that had 11 people stumped – could you guess right?
A PLAYER on The 1% Club made an embarrassing blunder on a question that left several others stumped - could you guess correctly? This 70% question eliminated 11 people altogether in the ITV game show. 5 5 5 Lee Mack had asked the remaining contestants: "Based on the results shown here, which of these sports teams is the best?" The screen showed various final game scores for a selection of fictional teams. Available options included A) Breezers, B) All Stars, C) Flames or D) Gems. Once the 30 second time limit was up, it was revealed 11 people had chosen the wrong team. The correct answer was Breezers, who had successfully won all of their games. Lee then proceeded to turn his attention to eliminated player Zainab. Having asked what she answered, the contestant replied: "I put All Stars. "I didn't even look at the numbers. I just thought, 'Oh, All Stars. They just seem like the best name.'" Lee responded: "Whoa, you didn't just go with what you thought was the best name?" As she nodded to confirm, Lee asked: "What did you think all the numbers were for?" The 1% Club player brands herself 'thick' as she gets easy picture question wrong - but would you have made the same mistake? Zainab explained: "I don't know - I don't watch football or anything like that." To which Lee remarked: "They're not real teams! And it's not even football, it says sport." In another episode, a contestant branded herself "thick" after getting an easy picture question wrong. The players had been asked: "Which of these Vincent van Gogh self-portraits has been altered?" Players had just 30 seconds to examine three photos of the famous painter and pick out the correct answer. The answer turned out to be C - as this featured the legendary Dutch artist wearing earbuds, which weren't invented for another 100-years after his death in 1890. The faked image also played on the fact Van Gogh infamously also cut off one of his ears during a furious row with artist Paul Gaugin. After revealing four people got it wrong, Lee turned his attention to one of these players - Margaret. 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. "Thick as two short planks", Margaret quipped after the spotlight was put on her. The contestant revealed she'd initially chosen C as her answer - only to change her mind. When asked by Lee for her reasons behind changing, Margaret replied: "God alone knows, I don't." The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 5 5

Nostalgic alcoholic drink to return to supermarkets this summer after being discontinued 10 years ago
Find out when and where you can buy the nostalgic drink CHEERS TO THAT Nostalgic alcoholic drink to return to supermarkets this summer after being discontinued 10 years ago Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NOSTALGIC alcopop that was much-loved by clubbers in the 90s and 2000s is returning to supermarket shelves. Ten years after disappearing from British supermarkets and convenience stores, Bacardi Breezers are back. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Bacardi Breezers will come in the flavours Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon Credit: Bacardi They'll be coming in the flavours Zesty Orange, Zingy Lime and Crispy Watermelon and will be priced at just £2 a bottle. The fruity alcopops were once a rite of passage for teenagers having their first alcoholic drinks or going clubbing for the first time. Many will have fond memories - and now they'll be able to enjoy the nostalgic drink once again, just in time for the summer. You'll be able to get Bacardi Breezers in major supermarkets and in convenience stores too. They'll be landing in B&M from July, Aldi from August and Sainsbury's from September. Bacardi has said they'll be available in convenience stores from July but some shops have already said they've got the alcopops in stock. They include Stevenston Post Office & Convenience Store in Scotland, USAVE Grocery Store in Carnbroe, Your Store Premier Sinclair Street in Greenock and Premier Express Linwood. The shops have all posted photos of the Breezers on their shelves, with one teasing: "Guess what's back." Bacardi Breezers first launched in 1990 and quickly became a nationwide phenomenon. Alcopops were wildly popular at the time and the competition included Smirnoff Ice, Hooper's Hooch, WKD, and later on VK and Reef. HANGOVER CURE Breezers then disappeared off shelves in 2015, leaving shoppers disappointed. More grown-up flavours like lemon and elderflower were launched in 2019, but the original Breezer flavours haven't been seen in the UK for 10 years. They will now be permanent additions to supermarket shelves, Bacardi has told The Sun. The company has said one of the reasons for the return is "strong demand from a new generation of consumers". Flavoured alcoholic drinks are becoming more popular, particularly among Gen Z. In particular, the pre-mixed Buzzballz have been going viral on TikTok. Bacardi is hoping the Breezers will appeal both to the younger generation and to those who will remember when they were last on shelves. The brand recently brought back another popular alcoholic drink. Patrón XO Cafe, a coffee liqueur drink, was discontinued four years ago - but brought back again in 2024. It's now available to order at 24 branches of The Alchemist across the country, including London, Birmingham and Leeds. What other nostalgic products are being brought back? Bacardi Breezers are just the latest nostalgic products to return to shelves lately. Recently Opal Fruits were brought back a whopping 27 years years after they were axed. The iconic sweets were rebranded as Starburst in 1998. The individually wrapped chewy squares are now available again in Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons. Coca-Cola also brought back its Lime-flavoured drink after axing it around 17 years ago. As of December, Farm Foods was selling a pack of eight 330ml cans of the drink. Ocado and Iceland are also currently selling a 1.75litre bottle of Lime Coca-Cola for £2.50 online. Meanwhile, Tesco recently turned the clocks back to 1995 by selling a range of products in their retro packaging. Classic items like Robinsons, Wagon Wheels and Rocky Bars were all selling in their original packaging for a limited time. The range also included retro fizzy drinks like Pepsi, Pepsi Max, and Tango Orange, Apple and Cherry.
