STARS such as Holly Willoughby and Ant and Dec have been caught out by a question on the tricky 1% Club.
A new video uploaded to the ITV social media accounts saw the stars alongside BGT’s Alesha Dixon and Kingfisher from The Masked Singer attempt to take on one of the notoriously difficult questions from the quiz programme.
The Saturday night favourite, fronted by comedian Lee Mack, has become a ratings hit and has already found itself picking up more than a few gongs.
But even the ITV celebs are left struggling with some of the questions asked on the show.
In a new promo, Holly, Ant and Dec, Kingfisher and Alesha were all asked to answer: “Which word continues the pattern to complete the sentence? Jo the chef likes eating chicken…”
The answers that they celebs could pick from were “wings”, “nuggets” and “jalfrezi”.
Whilst Dec and Holly appeared to have some what of a clue as to work out the answer, former Mis-Teeq singer Alesha was more bamboozled by something else as she exclaimed: “Who is Jo the chef?!”
Holly appeared to work out a formula as she could be heard asking how many letters there were before she began to add them up.
Ant and Dec also had the same idea and appeared to get the correct formula, however, they still appeared to select the wrong answer.
Whilst Alesha went for “wings”, the Geordie duo and Holly both plucked for “nuggets”.
However, the correct answer was in fact “jalfrezi”.
This is because “jalfrezi” contains eight letters which each word in the statement having a letter added too it.
The statement currently contained words that began at two letters before the final word “chicken” had reached seven letter.

Hitting out at the famous faces, one viewer insisted that it was “very easy” as they wrote: “That wasn’t a 1% question, think it was 10 or 20% either way very easy.”
The Masked Singer’s Kingfisher got the question correct but with the mystery celeb still in the contest, the identity of who is behind the mask remains a mystery.
