ITV's The 1% Club host Lee Mack opened up the show with a number of jokes, but it seems one really threw off a contestant. Although the comedian is regularly cracking jokes, it seems one was poorly timed and left one guest confused. The format of the show sees questions asked to the audience starting with ones that would be deemed easier, increasing in difficulty on each level. Within the first few minutes of the show, one of the easier questions that appeared on screen was a "spot the difference" of the Coronation Street set.


Two images were side by side with one reading Rovers Return Pub while the one next to it read Ravers Return Pub. The 30 second countdown started as he reminded the contestants that they needed to figure out what the difference between the two images was, before he joked: "One's on the left and one's on the right."


Unfortunately, one of the contestants took that seriously and thought he might have been giving them a clue and that it was a "trick question", so she put that down. Lee was in utter disbelief when he called into the audience to ask her what happened and discovered that his joke is what threw her.


The host admitted that he was feeling bad as he added: "In the history of the show, no one has taken the joke as the actual clue." The guest laughed it off, but then Lee asked her, as he does with all contestants, what she would have spent her winnings on, and she explained that it would be her house plants.


A mortified Lee then told her: "I'm glad you haven't won. What a waste of money!" Before laughing it off and continuing with the rest of the show.


At the end of the show, contestants have the option to either take home £10,000 or to try and get the 1% question which would see them take home the full prize fund, which stood at £94,000.


The 10% question took out eight of the nine contestants, resulting in one person, Tessa, who is just 19 years old, to be offered the chance to answer her 1% question. In an unexpected twist, she told Lee that she was a hobby opera singer and even gave the fellow contestants a little snippet of her vocals.


She ultimately decided to take home £10,000 instead of gambling for the £94,000. Had she have gone ahead, her question would have been: "Using only two letters to fill in the blanks, what is the world below?" With P---E--I-N spelled out. Luckily, she didn't know the answer and was able to take home the £10,000.
