“£95,000… GONE IN 30 SECONDS — AND THE STUDIO COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THE DAMAGE!” What began as an ordinary jackpot round on The 1% Club suddenly spiraled into one of the most savage eliminations the show has ever witnessed. Eleven contestants stood just one puzzle away from a life-changing payday. Then the final challenge appeared on the screen — and almost instantly, the panic started spreading.

NINE players were left wiped out on The 1% Club’s final big-money question and missed out on the chance to bag a share of £100,000.

A tricky letters sequence question had 11 players vying for the jackpot.

A large number of players had been successful in making it through to the final question after proving that they more than knew their stuff when it came to answering the tough puzzles.

But their confidence was short-lived when nine of them failed to correctly answer the all-important final question.

Host Lee Mack read aloud the question and confirmed that the prize pot stood at a cool £95,000.

It meant the players were able to split it 11 ways should they get it correct.

Lee said to them: “What letter replaces the question mark in this sequence?”

The following letters were then presented to the players: “YYHLY?YTRRRR”.

30 seconds were then whacked on the clock as they attempted to arrive at the right answer.

With time up, Lee then asked each of the players to confirm which letter they had picked.

The answers they gave, were: “H, T, E, T, R, H, N, E, L, Y, T.”

It left Lee remarking: “There’s quite a lot of different answers there so someone might win big tonight.”

 

Lee then confirmed that the correct answer was “E” and revealed that the sequence was the last letter of the 12 months of the year.

As such, the two players who answered correct won a share of the £95,000 pot.

Joe Clark and Liz Casey each walked away with £47,500 having beaten off the competition.
