During the game, she ultimately chose to use her pass on the 35% question before being eliminated. While speaking to Heidi revealed strict rules given to contestants by the producers. She shared: "When we got put in our seats in the studio, they gave us the tablets and told us it was important to keep our eyes firmly locked on the screens and not look at each other "There were actually invigilators who go back through the show episode to make sure every contestant plays the game fairly. "You could have won the cash prize but if they go back through filming and see you glanced over at another contestant's screen before answering, you'll forfeit the prize. "That's not happened yet but it was a stern warning!" She also explained: "Before the show, we were given rules about clothing. "No logos or bright patterns. No fluorescent colours and nothing low cut. They didn't want you to look dressed for a night out!" Elsewhere, Heidi shared a top tip for hopeful contestants aiming to stand out to the producers. The 1% Club knocks out a whopping 16 celebs with easy anagram question She revealed: "It was funny. I tried to showcase my personality and I've worked as an entertainer before, so I'm good in front of people. "I made silly jokes that if I won the prize, I'd spend it on opening a trifle sandwich shop. "That would be my advice to anyone trying to get on the show. When they ask you how you'll spend the winnings, don't say something boring like paying off the mortgage." Meanwhile, she further opened up how filming on the hit ITV game show actually works. She said: "While contestants are answering questions on the tablet, Lee usually takes the time to make a joke to the audience at home. "But all his comical parts are filmed later. When we're answering the question, he remains silent. "Then he has to be filmed asking the question again and we have to pretend to put our answers in. That was a bit weird!" The show's challenging brainteasers and puzzles regularly stump large numbers of players. In one episode, 30 contestants were eliminated after failing to answer a smiley face question correctly. While another saw 30 players left stumped on a tricky traffic question. The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

I was a contestant on The Chase - this is the brutal thing they make you do if you're knocked out
A contestant from The Chase has revealed what happens behind the scenes when players are knocked out of the game. The ITV game show, presented by Bradley Walsh, 65, sees four players take on a Chaser, either Jenny Ryan, Shaun Wallace, Darragh Ennis, Paul Sinah or Anne Hegarty. Each player participates in a cash builder before going head-to-head with one of the talented quizzers. If successful, they then return to the team and add their winnings to the group prize pot, before taking on the Chaser again in a final round to try and win a share of the cash. However, some players don't always make it back to the table and a former contestant has shared what unfolds if you fall short. In a post on Reddit, someone who has previously appeared on the game show shared that anyone kicked out of the game has to stand at the side and watch. Someone asked them: 'When you've been caught in the head-to-head part, does the show allow you to stick around so you can see your fellow team performing the final chase?' 'Yeah, you go sit with the crew and watch from the sidelines,' the contestant replied. They described how they 'sat over by the adjudicator sort of off to the right of where the chaser sits'. During their game, the contestant went against Shaun Wallace, known as the Dark Destroyer, and secured £5,000 in the cash builder round, but chose to go for the higher offer of £30,000. They revealed they didn't know who the Chaser was before they walked out, just like how it is portrayed in the episode. 'Don't see any chasers before the show, only see ours during the bits they're answering questions and don't see them after the recording (except he did come down to the green room for a quick chat and photo op which I was told they don't all do),' they wrote. If contestants want to challenge an answer to a question, there's even an adjudicator present to help. 'It was made clear there was an independent adjudicator and if you want to challenge an 'incorrect' answer you can do so at any time and they'll look into it,' the player described. Another contestant, fertility therapist Nicola Crawley starred on the show in 2023 and she excelled in the cash builder round with £8,000. But Nicola struggled when she finally faced Chaser Paul Sinha - and ultimately went home without any money. Opening up about her time on the show to Nicola revealed the stark warning production staff give contestants. With the rise of social media has come trolling - and Nicola said contestants were warned about the risks of this. 'Yes, they advised us to stay off social media for a few days after our episode aired,' she said.
