1% CLUB fans horrified after a contestant makes a shock funeral confession before getting sent home.
The ITV show, hosted by Lee Mack, features 100 contestants trying to answer increasingly difficult logic-based questions in order to win some prize money.
The final question in the game is regarded to be so tough that on average only 1% of the UK population would get it right.
However, viewers were left horrified on Saturday at a contestants response when Lee chatted to them before the start of the show.
Joyce said she was supposed to be officiating at the funeral of her friend’s partner but told her friend to move it back a day.
“My friend’s partner sadly passed away recently and she gave the day’s date as the funeral.
“And I said ‘perhaps not’, so we are doing it tomorrow instead” Joyce explained.
“Wow, I thought the wedding story was bad” replied a shocked Lee as he referred to a previous contestant who was missing her brother’s wedding.
He added: “The pressure on you now after all that not to go out on the 90% question and watch it all go up in smoke.
“That’s a bad choice of words – to watch it all go wrong.”
He then wished her good luck before starting the show with the first question.
However, Joyce was knocked out after she failed to answer the second when contestants had to choose the odd one out.

“Oh hang on you were supposed to be doing a funeral.
“I mean, I don’t want to be harsh but you’ve gone out so early.
“I think you could make it.”
Viewers flocked to social media with one stating: “Can you push your fellas funeral off for a day I’m going to be on #the1percentclub.
“I hope she goes out on the first question.”
Another added: “Well she can do the funeral now.”
While a third remarked: “So you’ve got one missing a wedding and one missing a funeral lol.”
The 1% Club airs on ITV and is available to stream on ITVX.
