Clarke Carlisle won £100k on The 1% Club for Soccer Aid

Comedian Lee Mack returned to present the show but this time he was joined by 100 celebrities and sports stars as opposed to the general public.

They were put to the test in the quiz where “the questions have nothing to do with remembering facts, but are all about logic and common sense”, explains the Radio Times.

The aim of the game was to make it to the end, answering the 1% question correctly to take home up to £100,000 for charity and they were successful.

Celebrities and sports stars win £100k for UNICEF on The 1% Club

At the very end of the show, only two celebrities remained with a chance at making the overall donation total £100,000.

Unlike regular versions of the show, the celebrities were working together rather than against each other like members of the public would.

While comedian Lloyd Griffith got the final question incorrect, former footballer Clarke Carlisle answered it correctly and won the prize money.

Carlisle has also previously been named Britain's Brainiest Footballer.

The prize fund included £1,000 from celebrities who were out of the show, having answered a question incorrectly.

Former Leeds United defender Clarke Carlisle (once crowned Britain’s Brainiest Footballer) has won £100k for UNICEF by absolutely smashing the 1% Club without even using a PASS.

Leeds That 🍾👌👏🔥💪

How does The 1% Club work?

ITV said: “Find out how clever you are as Lee Mack presents the quiz where it doesn't matter how good you are at quizzes and where 100 contestants could win up to 100,000 pounds.”

As pointed out by the Radio Times, the show isn’t about knowing facts, it’s about using your brain to answer the questions.

Pub quiz tips

Each player gets one pass which they can use to help them skip a question but once they have used it, an incorrect answer takes them out of the game.

If they make it to the 1% question, they are asked to go down to the stage for the final question where they see if they are winners.
