The 1% Club players stumped by ‘easy' question that knocks out 23 people – would you have got it?
Would you have given the correct answer? NO WORDS The 1% Club players stumped by 'easy' question that knocks out 23 people – would you have got it? ON TONIGHT'S edition of The 1% Club, 23 players were eliminated by an 'easy' question. Lee Mack took to the airwaves on ITV to present another instalment of the popular gameshow. 5 23 players were eliminated from The 1% Club in a shocking round Credit: ITV 5 Lee Mack took to the airwaves on Saturday night to front the popular game show Credit: ITV 5 Many viewers said the question was 'easy' - but would you have got it right? Credit: itv The 1% Club doesn't test players on their general knowledge, instead contestants have to solve riddles. 100 players have to use common sense as they are tasked with solving questions based on logic and reasoning skills. They are only given a 30 second time limit as they are whittled down as the questions get harder and harder. In the end, they have the chance to enter the prestigious club by answering a question that only one percent of the public would get right. The 56-year-old presenter moved onto the 70% question as he asked the remaining players to solve a question. "John writes with his right hand and the last word he'd right if he was writing this sentence would be be. "If Keith writes with his left hand, what would be the last word he would write in the sentence above?" Of course the answer was the word 'be', as a different writing hand would not change the last word, something which many viewers playing along got correct. However, a whopping 23 players in the studio answered the riddle incorrectly and they were eliminated from the game. Viewers took to social media in droves as they couldn't believe so many players left the game after such an 'easy' question. The 1% Club knocks out 17 players on difficult numbers question Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one user posted a GIF of Reese Witherspoon as her Legally Blonde alter-ego, Elle Woods. The image of the iconic film character sarcastically mouthed the question, "What, like it's hard?" "How did 23 get this wrong?," asked a second user with a monkey covering his eyes emoji. While a third exclaimed: "TWENTY THREE out on THAT?!?!" As someone else stated: "How t* have 23 gone out?? Being left handed doesnt mean you write words in the wrong order." And a fifth fan added: "Too many people thinking too hard on that one #The1PercentClub." Because of the huge elimination, the jackpot prize rose significantly to huge levels. The £5,000 pot rose to a whopping £28,000 as nearly a quarter of the total amount of players were eliminated. 5 The different hands would not have effected the structure of the sentance Credit: ITV 5 As nearly a quarter of the players were eliminated, thousands of pounds were added to the prize pot The 1% Club continues on ITV1 and is available to watch back on ITVX.

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. 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. Players were asked how many different combinations were there of displaying four digits on one hand. 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.

Another added: "CJ Emmons that was an epic performance!!! How on earth was he not given the Golden Buzzer? "One of the best singers I have ever seen on the show if not the best! This is why the show annoys me. A brilliant act left hoping for a public vote." CJ did not get the Golden Buzzer because the following act, Harry Moulding, got KSI's Golden Buzzer. Harry got the coveted Golden Buzzer a live proposal happened during his magic performance. During the week, CJ revealed what surgery he had undergone when he sat down for a chat with The Mirror. Britain's Got Talent fans left fuming as Golden Buzzer twist is revealed Revealing he had undergone gallbladder surgery, he told the outlet: "They cut into my abdominal wall and every time after that, it's been hurting to sing. "But my doctor's like, 'keep singing, strengthen it, strengthen it, and it's going to get better.' So there's still a bit of pain. But I can tell it's getting stronger and stronger." He went on to explain how it all began when on May 1, he experienced severe abdominal pains before taking himself to the hospital. After some tests, he was told he needed emergency surgery. Britain's Got Talent's biggest 'fix' rows Britain's Got Talent has been plagued with 'fix' rows over the years. How many of these do you remember? Jasmine Elcock - 2016: Teenage singer Jasmine Elcock stunned the nation with her version of Cher's Believe. But it then transpired she had already performed professionally in London's West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: "I've performed in Annie in the West End at about the age of nine or 10, but I really get nervous." IrShad Shaikh - 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rule book when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He got four red buzzers from the judges, which would usually mean an instant dismissal. Yet in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his put him through to the next round. Colin Thackery - 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there was an outcry over the final. He warbled his place to win with a version of We'll Meet Again but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn't even rank in the top three. Viewers felt Jonathan - who almost suffocated while being buried alive in a gravel pit - should have won. Axel Blake - 2022: Comedian Axel Blake was given a Golden Buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were fuming when they discovered Axel already had a show on worldwide streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still went on to win the series. Taryn Charles - 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year's hopefuls lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight through to the semi-finals following her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, but it has now come to light that she is no stranger to TV. Viewers recognised Taryn from an episode of ITV1's Starstruck, where she impersonated Whitney Houston for judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight. "My gallbladder was completely dead," he explained, saying: "It was turning gangrene and it was about to explode and turn sepsis, which would have proved fatal. "They were going to do an emergency surgery that night, but I was so badly infected. "They had to pump me full of antibiotics for two days and then I had the surgery on May 3." He then revealed that he had spent five days in the hospital before returning home. Gallbladder removal surgery, which is medically known as a cholecystectomy, is a procedure to remove the gallbladder. The surgery is typically performed to treat conditions like gallstones that cause pain or other complications. There are two main types of cholecystectomies - laparoscopic (keyhole surgery) and open surgery. 5 CJ is a fan-favourite on the show this year Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

Watch the moment viewers left in hysterics as woman appears to have epic hair fail during Good Morning Britain interview
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GOOD Morning Britain viewers have been left in hysterics after a woman appeared to have an epic fail during an interview on the TV show. The news programme was running a piece about parking fines from private companies when they interviewed people in a Derby car park. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Good Morning Britain viewers were left in hysterics when they saw this woman being interviewed Credit: ITV 5 She appeared to be entirely unaware that she had a giant pink claw clip on her head Credit: ITV 5 Others accused the reporter of "doing her dirty" by not pointing out her error Credit: ITV 5 She was being interviewed as part of a segment on parking fines Credit: itv While some of them admitted they were struggling to get on the app to pay for their parking, a woman then popped up who said that even when she's on the app, she doesn't know if the fee has been processed. However, viewers were less interested in what the lady was saying, and more enthralled by her hair. As she appeared to have completely forgotten that she had a pink claw clip secured to the front of her hair. It looked as though she had clipped back the hair that usually falls over her face while finishing off her make-up. Read more TV fail stories FAME GAME Traitors star's game show flop… & other reality stars' failed TV bids before fame But then she made an unfortunate blunder by getting on with her day without taking the clip out. And after the programme aired, hundreds of people took to TikTok to share a clip of the woman's interview. Casey was one of them, as she wrote over the top of her video: "Do you think she's completely forgotten she's left this in?" She added that she'd been left "crying" with laughter after watching the show. While Dan giggled: "She looks a right state! "What the heck is going on? She's got a bl**dy clip on her head!" I paid £80 for a haircut but was left bawling when I saw the results - it was like he'd never cut locks before And the comments sections of both videos were quickly filled with others laughing about the woman's hair fail. "Omg I saw that and thought she will be mortified when she sees herself later!" one wrote. "I said this to my husband, I was howling!!" another giggled. "The interviewers well targeted her when they spotted her!" a third said. "Thought I was seeing things this morning when I was watching," someone else admitted. "Why did no-one tell her?" another wondered. Visit our Good Morning Britain page for the latest updates As someone else wrote: "Poor cow, why didn't anyone tell her? "That reporter did her dirty!" While others shared their own similar embarrassing situations with hair fails. "I used a clip like this to hold back my fringe when driving… wasn't until after the meal and I got back into the car 2hours later and glanced at the mirror I noticed I had been walking around looking just like that woman," one sighed. "Done my big food shop with my toddler's Peppa Pig clip holding my fringe back, not one single person told me!" another admitted. "I've done this so many times but luckily remember before I get out the car," a third commented.
