Lee Mack calls contestant 'greedy sod' after Lotto win confession on The 1% Club

Lee Mack called a contestant on The 1% Club a "greedy sod" after it was revealed they were a millionaire following a lottery win.

The 1% Club's format sees 100 contestants begin every show - but to make it to the end and win the top prize of up to £100,000, contestants must correctly answer a question only 1% of the country would get right.

Each contestant starts with £1000 but an incorrect answer knocks them out of the game and their £1000 goes into the prize pot.

Every episode begins by asking a question that 90% of the country got right, based on a sample of answers given by 1000 people across Britain, proceeding to ask questions that smaller and smaller percentages answered correctly.

In tonight's episode, the first question saw a picture of hands on a screen. The contestants were asked 'How many hands are in the picture?'.

The correct answer was six. In the audience, 88 contestants got the question correct but one person who didn't was Kevin Jones.

Lee asked Kevin: "You've been unlucky tonight. Are you usually unlucky?" Kevin said: "I've been very lucky in the past. I won the lottery."

A shocked Lee asked: "You're a National Lottery winner? How much did you win?"

Kevin said: "£6 million." Lee said: "Six million quid? And you want another hundred grand? You greedy sod."

Kevin said: "I wanted to come on here for the challenge, but sadly I've not done very well." Lee added: "It seems weirdly fitting that you've gone out in the first one. That's unfortunate."
