ITV fans rage 'make it make sense' as The 1% Club airs 'easiest episode ever'

Viewers of have been embroiled in heated debate on social media, with some claiming the latest instalment is the "easiest episode ever" aired. The programme, fronted by comedian , featured various text and image-based questions which various fans claimed were "so hard".

On Saturday (May 3), 100 hopeful contestants from across the country piled into The 1% Club Studio in . A father and daughter duo, a woman whose job was to control pests, and another who hoped to win a stunning cash jackpot for her husband were tested on their quick thinking.

Another said: "When do the hard questions begin #The1PercentClub, easiest episode ever, not even taken 5 seconds to work one out yet." Someone else questioned why some of the earlier questions seemed more difficult than others, writing: "Mum got the 70% which I didn't, yet I got the 50% question which she didn't.

Another was: "Which of the following words only cotains letters which appear more than once?".

The possible answers were 'Nonsense', 'Murmur' and 'Endangered'. After giving guests just seconds to deliberate, Lee revealed the answer he was looking for was 'Murmur'.
