Instead of testing players on their general knowledge, takes a whole different approach.

100 players sit in the studio audience as they are tested on their logic, reasoning skills and common sense.

They have to answer riddles that a certain percentage of the public could get right with a 30 second time limit.

For each player that gets eliminated, £1,000 gets added to the potentially huge jackpot prize.

This continues until the players who get to the final round try to join the prestigious club by answering the last question that only one per cent of the public could answer correctly.

But on an episode of the show available on , many players were eliminated quite early in the game by the 50% question.

Lee initially: “‘A’ is the first capital letter in the alphabet that looks the same in the mirror.”

The question continued: “What is the second?”

14 players were eliminated as they just couldn’t get the answer correct.

The answer was the letter ‘H’ as £14,000 was added to the total, taking the jackpot prize to a whopping £49,000.

This comes after it was revealed that The 1% Club is set to with its next run of episodes.

Instead of its usual Saturday night slot, execs at the commercial network plan to air episodes every weeknight back-to-back.

It means that fans will be able to tune into an edition of the show every night for five nights.

The show will also implement a new roll-over feature as the prizemoneyrolls over from each episode.

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