Fans of The 1% Club have slammed a ‘sneaky’ show change they spotted on Saturday night’s show.
The quiz show, hosted by Lee Mack, sees contestants face a number of questions sourced from a pool previously answered by members of the public.
Brain-teasers were then ranked by how many people got them right, and range from the relatively easy (90%) to the mind-bendingly tough (1%).
The show starts with 100 contestants, who were all given a £1,000 stake to play with, the Mirror reports.

They are hit with 15 questions, and have just 30 seconds to lock their answers in.
If they fail to answer in time, or get the question wrong, they’re out of the game and their stake goes into the final prize pot.
However, one eagle-eyed viewer noticed that the audience had not been given the full 30 seconds to answer for the first three questions.
They took to Reddit and vented: “The crew decided to cut a few seconds short on the 90% to 70% question.”
Another fan replied: “I didn’t notice it, but if they really wanted to cut length out of the show, there are better ways.
“They don’t need to keep saying what’s in the prize pot after every question.
“It’s always going to be around the same amount near the end, and I don’t think the viewers are interested, really. So cutting 10 seconds from a question seems odd.”
A third said: “They cut out about 3-4 seconds per question, but for a 30-second question, that is quite big that for a tricky 70% question that I might run out of time to think and submit the answer.”
A fourth chipped in: “I’d prefer if they gave more information about the number of remaining contestants and how many have passed than what the prize pot is at!”.
