Future of The 1% Club confirmed by ITV bosses

The 1% Club is one of the most popular game shows on TV and ITV bosses have issued an update on its future. Unlike many other quiz shows that deal with general knowledge, the ITV show is all about logic and common sense.

Contestants must answer questions only a percentage of 1,000 members of the British public would get right to win up to £100,000. The questions require clever thinking and are usually obvious once you know the answer. 100 contestants go head to head each episode and they have 30 seconds to answer each question.

If one answer is submitted incorrectly the contestant is eliminated, and their £1,000 is added to the prize pot. They start with questions 90% of the public got right, but as the game progresses, questions are asked that smaller percentages answered correctly, all the way down to a question that only 1% got right.

The official 1% club X page, @1PercentClubITV, posted an exciting update yesterday, November 20. The post stated: "News just in: 4 brand new episodes midweek in December....an early Christmas treat! And then of course a Christmas Special. (and then LOADS of new episodes when series 4 starts properly next year)." The 1% Club returns on Monday 9th December at 9pm on ITV1.

Fans of the show are in for a treat as Southport's Lee Mack will present a whole host of new episodes. In April, ITV announced that the series was the biggest game show on TV in 2023, with almost six million viewers per episode.

The announcement was a surprise for fans who excitedly took to the comments. One fan said: "Wooo! I can't wait!" And another added "Brilliant! Looking forward to it!" Further responses included "Brilliant news" and "Love the 1% Club. Lee Mack is an amazing comedian."
