A contestant taking part in The 1% Club said she 'won't live this down' after sharing her wrong answer to the first question. Lee Mack returned on Saturday night (March 30) to front the popular ITV gameshow, where 100 people aim to win £100,000.
The contestants have to answer a range of questions that get harder and harder as the show goes on. There are usually only a few people - if any - left in the running at the end to attempt to answer the tough 1 percent question.
A few unlucky contestants fell at the first hurdle, but one woman, Rebecca, felt a lot more embarrassed about her mistake than the others. The 90 percent question was: "Twelve of the thirteen heart cards from the pack of cards are shown here. Which one is missing?".

The screen showed all of the heart cards except one - the eight of hearts. Five people, including bookkeeper Rebecca Pearson, were knocked out in the first round, reports the Echo.
Lee asked Rebecca what she put for her answer, to which she said "zero". Looking confused, Lee asked why, and Rebecca responded: "I thought there were 12 cards in a pack and they were all there and there's none missing. I'm just thinking I won't live this down."
Following Rebecca's admission to working with numbers regularly, she joked she won't be telling her daughter about her unlucky run on the show.
Viewers watching at home were just as surprised as Lee at her answer. Taking to X, MacpacPS4 said: "ZERO!?!? Wot." Shakeywoon added: "The zero of hearts!", as Ckurkova laughed: "0 of hearts? lol."
