The 1% Club wipes out seven players instantly on easy 90% question – but would you have known the answer?

However for most of the 100 players, they manage to sail through the first few round which are deemed easy thanks to most of the general public being able to correctly answer them.
But for one episode of the Saturday night quiz favourite, seven people fell at the very first hurdle.
They all failed to correctly identify the answer to the opening 90% question - which was all about letters.
Reading the question aloud, Lee said: "Which of the following words still makes a valid word if you change the first letter to the next letter in the alphabet?"
Lee then told the players of the three choices they had to pick from, which were - Page, Rage and Wage.
With 30 seconds on the clock, the 100 players did their best to attempt to answer the question.
However, for seven of them, they could not get to the right answer.
Lee then confirmed that the answer was in fact, Rage.
By switching the 'R' to an 'S' - the following letter in the alphabet - players were left with the word, Sage.
Page would have produced "oage", whilst Wage would have read "xage".
The 1% Club wipes out 20 people on tricky numbers question
One player who got it wrong admitted it was his "biggest fear" to go out on the 90% question.
He told Lee that he panicked and failed to read the question properly before selecting the answer as "wage".
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.

Love Island's Shaughna Phillips showcases her six stone weight loss in stunning lingerie transformation snaps
Shaughna Phillips looked incredible as she showed off her nearly six stone weight loss in an impressive before and after snap. The former Love Island star, 31, has been working hard on her diet and fitness in recent years and has gone from 97kg (15st) to 61kg (9.6st). The influencer embarked on her weight loss journey following the birth of her daughter, Lucia, in 2023. In her latest post, Shaughna shared a photo of herself in white lingerie alongside another taken 14 months later after losing the weight. Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Let the record reflect, although I've dropped a few dress sizes, I will ALWAYS love a high waisted full brief.' The star was inundated with messages from followers who wrote: 'Well done'... 'You look happy with your new body that's all that matters lovely'... 'Well done you look amazing. Determined to be the strongest version of herself for her little one, she ditched old habits in favour of a disciplined meal plan and quick-fire boxing-inspired workouts. It comes after Shaughna, who was told previously she was clinically obsese, showed off her figure in a white bikini as she shared before and after shots of her weight loss. She posted three side-by-side pictures of herself on her weight loss journey - on day one, nine months in and just over a year later. She wrote over the top of it: 'This is me on day one fronting it out, showing sass I didn't feel.' The video then skipped to her at the end of her weight loss journey as she wore a similar bikini, showing off her weight loss. She added: 'Just hoping I'd get to here one day and still kinda shook that did.' The Love Island star has dropped five dress sizes after starting on her fitness and diet plan and is now a healthier nine stone 10lbs. Shaughna recently addressed claims she's used Ozempic to slim down, after stunning fans with her weight loss. She was hit by accusations that she used the drug Ozempic, which was previously used to treat diabetes but in recent years has been used by stars as an appetite suppressant. But the star has hit back at the claims, telling The Mirror: 'I love food way too much.' She went on to add: 'There's a new fad every other year. It just so happens that this is the fad this time around, and after I have lost weight. 'The thing is, it just coincided with the time when I had my daughter Lucia, and I had this baby weight, and everyone was commenting on it. 'Had it of been a few years prior, everyone would have been saying I had a BBL, or some magical liposuction that completely transformed how I looked.' Shaughna went on to add that she is 'terrified' by the prospect of the side effects of using Ozempic.

‘I was in a terrible alternate world': The tragic guitarist who rejuvenated Noughties indie-rock
Noel Gallagher may not have appreciated how big a compliment he was paying Babyshambles when he described the chaotic early 2000s indie band as the 'opposite of Oasis'. 'We were trying to make it big, and they are trying to make it small,' he said of a group intimately associated with the 'landfill indie' scene, and who are today mourning the death of their guitarist Patrick Walden at age 46. Babyshambles were, as Gallagher intimated, best enjoyed in pokey clubs and dingy dive bars – where you could see the whites of their blood-shot eyes and lose yourself in their hedonistic energy. But while they were regarded as the sole creative property of Pete Doherty, the troubled pied-piper of that decade's indie scene, it was Walden's dexterous and vulnerable musicianship that propelled hits such as Killamangiro and F--- Forever. He was also the member most uneasy in the spotlight, and they were never the same after he left in 2006, craving the privacy that he had to give up as a consequence of existing in the same orbit as the then outrageously famous Doherty. Centred on Camden's warren of pubs, clubs and back alleys, the London indie circuit of the post-Britpop era was awash with hard drugs, and so it was no surprise that Doherty and Walden were united by more than musical chemistry. When Doherty formed Babyshambles in 2003, having been fired from his previous band, The Libertines, due to his unhinged behaviour, his substance abuse moved up a level – and Walden was with him all the way. For instance, when the guitarist failed to show up for a Guardian interview in November 2005, it was hinted that he couldn't leave the house because he owed his drug dealers money. Walden was born in Islington, north London, in 1978. He first encountered drugs at boarding school in Surrey and started using heroin at the age of 18. In Doherty, he had a natural bedfellow – a fiercely creative spirit likewise in the throes of addiction. 'Pete is really charming, and I felt he had a romantic idea of drugs,' he would say. 'We would write songs for days on end with minimal sleep, propped up with heroin and crack. We wrote songs so easily together. Creativity was pouring out of him.' But if a mess off-stage, under the spotlight, Walden's guitar playing was visceral and propulsive. It is a testament to his talent that he so effortlessly replaced Doherty's Libertines foil and musical soul-mate, Carl Barât. If anything, Babyshambles were a more complete package than the early version of The Libertines. Doherty's sensitive vocals and his William Blake-inspired lyrics made them famous, but it was Walden's guitar that held the whole thing together. Unfortunately, not even a guitarist of his talents could compensate for Doherty's increasing unpredictability. Drugs were the unofficial theme of the group's 2005 debut, Down in Albion – a song called Pipedown was not a plea to lower your voice but rather a cry for help from Doherty, who rarely left the house without his crack pipe. That dependency doomed Babyshambles even as they were building momentum. A show at London's Astoria in December 2004 ended in a riot after the group failed to show following a two-hour delay. With 2am beckoning, the sell-out audience took their frustration out on the venue. 'The curtains were torn down, drinks were thrown, the drum kit was smashed and essentially the entire contents of the stage were destroyed,' an eyewitness told the NME at the time. 'The security forced the kids back to the other side of the barrier.' Six months later, they blasted themselves in the foot a second time after doing the impossible and scandalising even Oasis with their bad behaviour. Babyshambles were famously set to support the Britpop heroes on a tour across the UK, only for Doherty to become marooned in America, where he was celebrating the birthday of his then-girlfriend, Kate Moss. Having missed the opening date in Southampton, they were unceremoniously fired by the Gallaghers. However, even at the height of their notoriety (and peak of their bad behaviour), they were still an amazing live band. When I saw them play in Dublin in September 2006 – several months after Walden's departure – they put in a tight and polished performance, topped off with an unplanned cameo by The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, whom Doherty had spotted in the crowd and then called up for a song. The set ended with Killamangiro – minus Walden's guitar but with supermodel Moss popping out from the wings to sing backing vocals. Life after Babyshambles was tough for Walden, who felt he needed to get away from Doherty for the good of his health. He was persuaded to come back in 2007 on the proviso that the tour bus would be drug-free. When that proved not to be the case, he dropped out again. He struggled with addiction for years afterwards. In 2010, he was found guilty of receiving stolen goods and drug possession in Sutton in south London after a security guard spotted him acting 'suspiciously' in a pharmacy. The court heard that he suffered from depression and had developed a dependency on methadone. Later, he turned to legal highs – but, if anything, they had an even more serious impact on his mental health. 'With the new drugs, there was no line between fantasy and reality. I was in a terrible alternate world. The sky would be playing songs at me, spelling out my name. I was so petrified,' he said in 2017. As Walden fought his battles, Doherty moved to France, started a family and walked away from drugs. Having reconciled with Barât, in 2024 The Libertines put out perhaps their best album yet, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, followed this year by an acclaimed Doherty solo LP. When promoting his new projects, Doherty was asked about the possibility of a Babyshambles tour to mark the 20th anniversary of Down in Albion. He said a reunion was 'on the cards' – but with Walden's premature death, the Babyshambles story has surely reached its tragic endpoint.

Olivia Wilde enjoys drinks with producer friend Saul Germaine on night out in ex-boyfriend Harry Styles' London neighbourhood
Olivia Wilde appeared to be in good spirits as she enjoyed drinks with her producer friend Saul Germaine near Harry Styles ' London neighbourhood on Friday. The actress, 41, cut a casual figure a loosely fitted shirt, which she paired with beige trousers, black loafers and sunglasses. She carried her essentials in a tote bag as she enjoyed a glass of wine outside the Washington pub in Belsize Park amid the scorching London heatwave. Olivia, who was speculated to be the inspiration behind ex-boyfriend Harry's hit single As It Was, was joined by her friend Saul for the outing. He cut a laidback figure in a black shirt and trousers, which he teamed with a casual pair of flip-flops. Olivia visited a pub nearby her ex-boyfriend Harry's London neighbourhood as he is reportedly building a £30million super-mansion in neighbouring area Hampstead. Harry is said to be restoring a Grade II-listed former 18th century mansion back to its former glory after it was divided up into two semi-detached homes in the 1950s. Set over four acres in leafy Hampstead, north London, Harry purchased the larger property for £8.8 million in April 2019 and the smaller adjoining house for £4.175million seven months later. Last summer, MailOnline exclusively revealed he had submitted a detailed planning application for his extensive renovation project and was reportedly given the green light earlier this year. Director Olivia was romantically linked to Harry from January 2021 until November 2022 after meeting him on the set of her film Don't Worry Darling. She had previously been engaged and shares two children with her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, 49 - Otis Alexander, 11, and Daisy Josephine, eight - who she split from in early 2020. Olivia and Harry were reported to have experienced an instant attraction on the Don't Worry Darling set, despite their 10-year age gap. A source told PEOPLE at the time: 'Everyone saw it coming. During breaks, he hasn't been able to stay away and visited her trailer.' By February 2021, the couple were said to be 'very serious' about each other, with a source claiming that Harry was 'very happy' with Olivia. Director Olivia was romantically linked to Harry from January 2021 until November 2022 after meeting on the set of her film Don't Worry Darling (pictured at the premiere with Gemma Chan and Sydney Chandler The relationship even progressed to the point where Olivia had introduced the former X Factor star to her children. A year later, Olivia told Vogue: 'I'm happier than I've ever been. And I'm healthier than I've ever been, and it's just wonderful to feel that.' Harry echoed this sentiment in April of 2022, describing himself as 'really happy'. He also said the relationship had a positive effect on his music and told SiriusXM's The Morning Mash Up that the process of making Harry's House had been the most 'joyous' experience of his career so far. The star is believed to have referenced Olivia in the lyrics of As It Was, namely: 'I don't wanna talk about the way that it was, leave America, two kids follow her, I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first.' However, their intense work schedules and conflicting priorities were reported to be the cause of their eventual split, which was initially reported to be a 'break'. A source told PEOPLE at the time: 'They have had some issues, but Olivia thought they were gonna work through it all. She is disappointed. It's just a tricky situation, though.' In February 2023, it emerged that their relationship was over for good, with a source claiming that the pair remain good friends.
