Another day and another mind boggling question on The 1% Club.

The popular ITV game show sees 100 contestants with a £1,000 stake battle it out with the hopes of getting to the latter stages of the competition.

With 15 increasingly difficult questions to get through, the aim is to correctly answer the last winning question that only one percent of the nation supposedly knows the answer to.

If they get it right, there's a whopping £100,000 cash prize up for grabs.

Host Lee Mack, 56, returned to our screens on Thursday evening (December 12) and had a slightly awkward moment with Emma, one of the contestants.

Before reading out the question, Mack said: "The woman who, off camera, said she would happily go on Naked Attraction."

Emma laughed: "I said that off camera because my partner wouldn't be watching."

The host then put his hand to his face after acknowledging the blunder.

"Oh. And now I've just said it down the lens. I'm so sorry," he added.

On what she would do if she won, Emma said: "I want a gaming mouse because my partner's got me into World of Warcraft.

"It's proper sad and nerdy but it's so much fun."

Well, Emma made it through to the final 1% question as all five decided to go for the full prize pot of £97,000.

The question was: "In the paragraph below, the names of various numbers appear. Answer the following question: Everyone! Pay attention and listen up.

"Focus in these frightening and lonely thirty seconds. In this whole paragraph, how many times in total is the name of a number written down?"

Four of the finalists, including Emma, answered the question correctly (seven), and walked away with £24,250 each.

But viewers at home found it a little confusing, as one tweeted: "A bit confusing. You haven’t counted ‘second’ which is an ordinal number. The answer could be eight."

"Totally miscounted....can I blame it on just having got in from my works Xmas do and I've had a few wines?!" another added.

While others thought it was the 'easiest 1% question I've seen!'

"OMG I got it right & in the time. Thanks goodness I understood the question. It’s four tens, two ones & one thirty equals seven" a third penned.

"I was lucky, I didn't see the ten in frightening but did see a backwards nine and counted that so still got seven," someone else said.
