Lee Mack, the host of ITV’s popular quiz show, The 1% Club, recently encountered a curious fan during a live recording. The incident highlighted the unique blend of enthusiasm and humor that characterizes the show.
Lee Mack’s Tense Encounter
During the opening segment of the show, Mack acknowledged feeling “very tense” after meeting a contestant named Anna. She revealed that her primary goal for the evening was to obtain a photograph with him rather than compete for the show’s substantial jackpot.
Contestant’s Unique Motivation
The 1% Club features 100 contestants who tackle difficult logical questions, with the aim of answering one that only 1% of the population can solve. Mack engaged with Anna during his warm-up, asking how she would spend the prize money. To his surprise, she candidly stated, “I’m not really here to win; I just wanted to see you.”
Despite the competitive nature of the quiz, Anna’s focus was clear. “I’m just here to see you and get my picture,” she reiterated, deflecting the attention from the prize.
A Lighthearted Exchange
In a playful banter, Lee promised Anna a selfie if she made it to the final question. The atmosphere remained cheerful as Anna expressed her previous experiences meeting him backstage during a past show. She emphasized, “No, no, not in a stalker way.” This lightened the mood even further.
- Anna: “I promise I’m not weird!”
- Lee: “Thank you very much. I’m very tense!”
As the round progressed, Anna was ultimately eliminated but managed to fulfill her wish. Before her departure, she planted a fake kiss on Lee’s cheek, much to the delight and laughter of the audience. Lee, always the good sport, jokingly requested her removal from the stage.
Conclusion
Anna left with not just a memorable photo but also a delightful interaction that exemplified the engaging spirit of The 1% Club. Following her moment of fame, she thanked Lee for his kindness, showcasing the warm interaction between contestants and the host that makes the show special.
