Viewers of the 1% Club were left in disbelief as all EIGHT final contestants ended up with nothing after failing to answer the ultimate question correctly. Out of an initial 100, eight men remained in Tuesday night's episode, having successfully navigated their way to the final 1% question. However, when host Lee Mack posed the crucial question for a chance at the £97,000 prize pot, based on a graphic, they all stumbled.

Upon the time running out, Lee announced: "Your time is up. Let's see who got it right." A dramatic pause ensued before the studio was bathed in red light, signalling that no one had given the correct response.
"I'm afraid you all got it wrong," Lee informed the crestfallen contestants. He then disclosed the correct answer: Incubate (in-cube-eight). A collective sigh of disappointment echoed from the audience as it dawned on them that none of the eight had cracked the 1% Club.
Only Jonathan, one contestant, managed to leave with some winnings—£1,000 for not using his 'pass' card throughout the game. "Commiserations," said Lee to the group. "You didn't make it into the 1% Club but you can at least walk away knowing you did better than everyone else tonight.
" At home, fans who had. After playing the game alongside from home, viewers were shocked by the final eight's stumble. On X, formerly known as Twitter, a user expressed disbelief: "Not one person got it.

" A third viewer commented: "Oh what a pity. None of them got it right, meaning that everyone leaves with absolutely nothing..
.apart from Jonathan, who keeps his £1k." Many fans posted their guesses, which ranged from 'infinite', 'eight squared', to 'eight cubed'.
'The 1% Club' marked its return on ITV this week for a special run of four episodes, broadcasting nightly from Monday (December 9) until Thursday (December 12). Two festive editions of 'The 1% Club' will also be aired this month, and Lee is set to present an additional episode in aid of Soccer Aid..
