Lee Mack, 56, fronts the popular game show as 100 players are welcomed into the studio.

On the 1% Club, rather than general knowledge, they are tested on their logic, reasoning skills, and common sense.

They are given a selection of different puzzles and riddles which they would have to answer within a 30 second time limit.

On Saturday's show, three players made it to the final round for the chance of winning a huge monetary award.

They would also get the chance to join the famous 1% Club, getting a question right that only one percent of the public can answer.

This week, the players were given a diagram which showed a sequence of letters that were placed in what looked like a random order.

Lee asked: "I keep forgetting my four-digit PIN number. I know each digit is higher than the previous digit but I need this diagram to remember it.

"What is my four-digit PIN number?"

Only one contestant called Dominic answered the question correctly as he gave the correct answer, which was '1489'.

One of his fellow contestants was only a digit away from joining him in the club and halving the prize amount to share.

A number of viewers took to social media as they complained that the last question was easier than some of the earlier puzzles.

One fan noted: "That one per cent question was just a word search puzzle, found earlier questions much harder"

While a second stated: "Some of the later questions are, once again, easier than some of the earlier questions."

And a third added: "The 1% question was sooo easy and the one before v difficult in 30 seconds without a terrific memory."
