The 1% Club's Lee Mack asks 'do you know you're on TV' as he calls out off air comment

Lee Mack was stopped in his track during an episode of tonight's 1% Club. The Southport comedian was back in the hosting seat for tonight's edition of the ITV gameshow.

The 56-year-old presenter asked the contestants if they could pass a series of increasingly difficult logic problems. If anyone can answer the question only 1% of the population could get right then they could head home with a huge jackpot of £100,000.

However, he was confused after the second question when a player named Marina answered incorrectly and was eliminated. The question asked the players to piece three images together to get the name of a popular board game.

The images comprised a letter s, a crab and a football to complete the word scrabble. However, Marina was disappointed to get the answer wrong as Lee asked her some questions about her background.

The comic was baffled when she revealed she worked as a "bum trainer". However, he was particularly staggered when he picked up an off air comment from the player next to her.

Lee shot back: "Sorry, the bloke to your left went awesome. Do you know you're on national television?" Marina went on to explain her job.

She said: "I assist people to build and strengthen their glutes." She was disappointed to have made such a nearly exit from the game as she said: "My kids are going to take the living p**s out of me as well."

Lee was in disbelief at the explicit comment as he said: "Do you want to say something that we can broadcast on ITV?" Fans following the show on social media platform X were surprised the comment made into the episode.

Alex said: "OMG she just used the p**s word before 9pm" Lexi commented: "OFCOM will be swamped" Jamie commented: "Love ITV slacking on the watershed. About time"

Four players made their way to the end of the episode on Saturday's programme. The question was: The words below share a specific pattern. Why could voting also be part of the group? BANDLEADER NICKELODEON SILVERBACK.

Lee revealed the answer was they all contain the names of metals as voting contains the word "tin". None of the remaining players answered this week's question correctly so they lefty empty handed.
