Lee Mack is presenting a brand new ITV primetime quiz show inviting viewers to discover if they are in The 1% Club.
The Southport star will be dusting off his hosting skills as he gears up to present the new ITV quiz show. Each episode starts with 100 contestants who must battle it out against each other to win a £100,000 cash prize.
The 1% Club will feature people of all ages and with varying degrees of general knowledge. To win the cash prize, contestants must answer a question only 1% of the population would guess correctly.

Each contestant starts with £1,000 but, if they answer any question incorrectly, they are out of the game and their £1,000 goes straight into the prize pot for everyone to get the chance of winning. The show starts with Lee asking a question that 90% of the country got right (based on a sample of answers given by 1,000 people across Britain) and then goes on to ask questions that smaller and smaller percentages answered correctly.
Each time contestants flunk their answers the prize money swells. As the questions get harder and contestant numbers dwindle, host Lee breaks the tension with his quick-fire wit, teasing the contestants as their brains do somersaults in the battle to make it to the end of the show and a shot at the prize pot.
Lee Mack said: “If, like me, your lack of general knowledge frustrates you when doing quizzes, then watch The 1% Club. That way, like me, you can instead be frustrated by your lack of logic. Great contestants, loads of cash to win, and guaranteed ‘I can’t believe you couldn’t work that one out Dad!’ moments to cause family disputes. I love it.”
The 1% Club airs this Saturday at 8:30pm on ITV. You can also catch up on ITV Hub.
