PLAYERS on The 1% Club were completely stumped by a food question in just the second round.
Lee Mack, 56, took to the ITV airwaves over the weekend to present the latest edition of the smash-hit gameshow.
The 1% Club is a unique format that doesn’t test players on their general knowledge like other shows.
Instead, it tests them on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense.
100 players are whittled down, question by question, as they are tasked with solving different riddles.
They aim to get to the last round where only one percent of the public could answer the final question correctly.
However, nearly a quarter of the players were eliminated in the second round of the competition on Saturday’s episode.
A whopping 19 players were taken out of the game by an Anagram riddle, which was a question that 80 percent of the public would get right.
“What common food below has had its letters rearranged into alphabetical order? ABDER.”
The answer of course was the word ‘bread’.
Lee Mack himself could not believe that so many players couldn’t get the answer in the allotted 30 second time limit.
“Good God!”, he exclaimed. “I mean, unlucky for those of you that are out.”
Before he turned around to look at the answer, Lee added: “We lost 19 on that one?”
The host could not hide his shock and apparent disappointment that so many players were eliminated so early in the game.
He added: “It’s bread. I’m surprised – I have to be honest – that so many people went out on that.
“It doesn’t help, but I’m only being honest.”
The 1% Club continues on ITV and is available to watch on ITV
