A BIG number of players on The 1% Club were left stumped by what seemed like a simple counting question.

Hosted by,theITVseries is alogic-based quiz show that works by starting with 100 players who are eliminated during an episode as they get answers incorrect.

The questions get progressively harder until only 1 percent of contestants remain.

On a vintage episode of The 1% Club, Lee presented the studio contestants with the 60 percent question.

An image popped up on to the big screen that showed a brick wall with golden bricks, but some of the bricks in the middle of the wall were missing.

The questions asked: “How many bricks are missing from this wall?”

The correct answer was 12 and a whopping 25 people got it wrong, wiping themselves out of the competition and leaving 70 competitors remaining.

Both the live studio audience and Lee reacted in shock, with audible gasps heard in the studio when Lee revealed how many people got it wrong.

ITV revealed this month a major shakeup to the 1% Club’s format.

Instead of being aired in its usual Saturday night slot, bosses plan to air the shows every weeknight back-to-back.

It means fans will be able to tune into an episode every night for five nights.

Not only that, as part of a new shock shake-up, the show will be implementing a brand new roll-over feature which could see the prizemoneyroll over from each episode.

That means, on the final show of the week, there is the chance to win a staggering £500,000 on the 1% question.

The shows will be known as The 1% Club Rollover in a bid to boost attention even more.

But that isn’t all.

During rollover week, being a winner comes with extra perks as anyone who makes it to the 1% question is invited back to take part in the next day’s episode again for the chance to win even more money.

It means they could potentially win the prize again and in effect, double (or even treble or quadruple) their winnings.
