The 1% Club players were left very confused by a challenging letters question in a previous episode of the ITV show – but can you defy the odds and solve it?

Three contestants waved goodbye to host Lee Mack, 56, and the other players after being asked the 15% question.

Ten players remained and Lee asked them: ‘It’s now time for the 15% question…

‘Which two words, that contain the same five letters as each other but in a different order, mean the same as the two words below?’

The words below were ‘fairly silent’.

Making light of the situation, Lee told them: ‘And the answer isn’t Silent Fairly.’

After revealing that their time was up, three players were given the boot.

‘We lost three people there, let’s look at the answer,’ Lee said.

He continued: ‘It’s quite and quiet.

‘Fairly equals quite and silent equals quiet.’

Lee pointed out: ‘Somebody who got it right is Jackie Eminsang. You have just answered the 15% question…

‘Did you think you’d get this far?’

‘No, not at all,’ she replied. ‘I’m getting less confident with each question.’

Lee didn’t hold back and said: ‘That’s weird. But I know what you mean. It gets more tense I guess, doesn’t it?

Player Jackie was one of the contestants who got the question right - but did you?Player Jackie was one of the contestants who got the question right – but did you?

‘Anyone waiting specifically to see how you get on?’

Jackie replied: ‘I came with my dad, actually.

‘My dad is here tonight, we came together.’

Lee replied: ‘He’s on the show?!’

‘He is indeed,’ Jackie told him.

But unfortunately he was one of the players who had been booted off the programme.

Lee pointed out: ‘We haven’t spoken to you yet, but you are in blue…

‘So I am assuming you’ve gone.’

Jackie’s dad confessed that he ‘went a long time ago’, with Lee revealing he went on the 80% question.

It comes after The 1% Club aired an alphabet question that wiped out a whopping 15 celebrity players during the latest all-star special.

The likes of Jill Scott, 38, Iain Stirling, 37, Tony Bellew, 42, and Chris Kamara, 67, took to the studio to see if they could get the 1% question.

But at the 30% question round, a huge number of celebrities got the boot after presenter Lee asked the famous faces: ‘Which England footballer is spelt out in this code below?’ as they were shown nine different symbols.

The players were given the options of: A) Mary Earps, B) Ella Toone and C) Fran Kirby.

After their time was up, Lee said: ‘Wow. We’ve lost 15 of you…

‘Let’s look at the answer. It’s Frank Kirby.’

The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
