The 1% Club's Lee Mack gasps 'I wasn't expecting that' as simple picture question wipes out 25 players - but can YOU solve it?
The 1% Club's Lee Mack was left shocked when a simple picture question wiped out 25 players.
A previous instalment of the popular quiz show saw 100 contestants attempt to win a cash prize by answering a series of questions that gradually increased in trickiness.
The programme works by putting questions to the public, with the percentage who got them right determining the difficulty of each round.
Aptly, the final question is one that just 1% of the public answered correctly.
In one episode, the 80% question, which is supposed to be one of the easier ones, tripped up a hoard of players.

Lee read: "What two-word phrase does this code represent?"
Two images were then presented to players, one of a clock and another of two flies.
After the clock counted down 30 seconds, 25 contestants were revealed to have answered it incorrectly and were knocked out of the game.
The TV host appeared surprised and commented: 'Wow, we've lost 25 people on that one. I was not expecting that.
'The correct answer was time flies.'
Saturday's instalment of the ITV quiz show, hosted by Lee Mack, was a Soccer Aid special and saw 100 stars attempt to win a whopping £100,000 for UNICEF.
Celebrities including reality star Chris Hughes, Tommy Fury, former Love Islander Amber Gill and comic Paddy McGuinness.
But during the special episode, some of the celebrities found the 70% question, which is supposed to be slightly easier, particularly tricky.
It read: 'Which of these is an anagram of LIONEL MESSI?'
The stars were presented with three anagrams: A) LONE MISSILE, B, LION IN SLIME and C, NO SMILES LEE.
After 30 seconds, the correct answer was revealed to be A.
16 celebrities answered it wrong and Emmett J. Scanlan was one of the stars kicked out of the game.
'Mate, I was going to do A as well. I did B,' he quipped, before admitting it was a 'random guess' and he 'panicked'.
Former footballer Stuart Pearce also got it incorrect and revealed he had put C, adding: 'Clock beat me, panic set in.'
One watcher was shocked by how many were knocked out of the round and several fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the show.
