In a surprising move, ITV has decided to pull the plug on its prime-time quiz show 'The 1% Club', leaving fans and contestants baffled. The show, hosted by the quick-witted comedian Lee Mack, had gained a loyal following since its debut in 2022.
Why Was 'The 1% Club' Cancelled?
Despite its clever premise—where contestants tackle questions that only 1% of the population can answer—the show has fallen victim to ITV's strategy of refreshing its lineup. Insiders suggest the network is making space for new formats, though no official reason has been given.
Fan Outrage and Social Media Backlash
Viewers have taken to social media to express their disappointment, with many calling the decision "short-sighted". One fan tweeted, "This was the only quiz show that actually made you think! Why axe it?"
What's Next for Lee Mack?
While the show may be gone, host Lee Mack remains a staple of British comedy. Fans can still catch him on 'Would I Lie To You?' and his stand-up tours. Meanwhile, ITV has yet to announce a replacement for the Saturday night slot.
