ITV drop huge update on The 1% Club’s future just weeks after fans were left stunned by ‘easy’ and ‘trick’ questions
ITV have shared a huge update about The 1% Club’s future – following fans fuming over ‘trick’ questions.
The smash-hit game show hosted by Lee Mack launched back in April 2022.
On X, formerly Twitter, the show’s official account revealed series four filming is already underway.
Their post showed a snap of Lee standing on the set during rehearsals.
Its caption read: “Getting ready. See you very soon for Series 4. #The1PercentClub.”
One excited viewer penned: “Ooooo when will Series4 be please?”
Another wrote: “Hopefully a Saturday nights prime time weekly slot again.”
A third simply shared: “CANNOT WAIT”, along with four “hearts in eyes” emojis.
It comes as viewers have recently slammed the show for “trick” or “easy” questions.
One occasion saw Lee ask: “Which of these groups of six symbols are in the same order whether you read them from left to right or from right to left?”
The 56-year-old then revealed eight members of the studio audience were out at the 15% mark, before announcing the answer was C.
Writing on X, a furious fan said: “Baffled! I didn’t understand this one at all.”
Another agreed: “I said A and I still think A. I don’t understand how it’s not.”
Ultimately an eagle-eyed viewer cracked the ‘trick question’ and explained it to other The 1% Club fans.
He said: “Because it’s how you read it.
“I thought it was A, too, but it starts as a Closed bracket, whereas C starts the same as the end. I hope that explains it.”
A similar situation occurred on the show’s US counterpart, which is hosted by comedian Patton Oswalt.
Patton, 55, asked a 10% question revolving around a sequence shown on screen.
It read: “What month comes next in the sequence below?” and then a second line read: “April, August, December, February” and then a blank space.

Half of the players remaining were stumped by the question and were knocked out after getting it wrong.
Some viewers were baffled how so many could get it wrong, as one commented: “How… how are there people saying anything other than January. Like… how??? This is insanely easy.”
Another penned: “How is the us one so easy.”
