TOMMY Fury has signed up for a hit ITV quiz show’s first ever celebrity special.
Boxer and Love Island star Tommy, 25, will be appearing in The 1% Club’s inaugural celeb edition.
Lee Mack will be hosting a Soccer Aid for UNICEF episode of the ITV show.
It will feature 100 stars from sport and entertainment, including Tommy, putting their logic and common sense to the test.
Other names taking part include Paddy McGuinness, Jill Scott, Max Whitlock and Mark Pougatch.
Also onboard are Kimberley Wyatt, Jake Quickenden, Iain Stirling and Gemma Atkinson.
Viewers will also see Mark Chapman, Neil Ruddock, Tony Bellew, Brian McFadden, Amber Gill and AITCH, among many others.
Last December, Lee confirmed rumblings of a celeb episode for The 1% Club.
The comedian and Not Going Out star let slip the instalment had already been filmed.
He had been on Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby.
Asked by Jordan if there would be any celebrity special, Lee replied: “Well…I just texted someone saying am I allowed to talk about this, but I don’t know?
He added: “Well, it’s Soccer Aid special… so, it’s ex-footballers with some celebs as well.

Lee revealed that the production team had actually been surprised at how well the group did, saying: “If I told you that Neil “Razor” Ruddock did really well, you’d be as surprised as I was.”
The popular format – which debuted in 2022 – sees 100 contestants attempting to answer questions that fewer and fewer of the population can get right.
Eventually, those who make it to the final stages face the ultimate question that only 1% of people polled answered correctly.
The ITV quiz is notoriously difficult, with many contestants eliminated long before the final question.
However, viewers recently saw one brainbox claim the show’s biggest ever jackpot.
Matthew bagged a life-changing £99,000 when he answered the final question of the challenge correctly.
It was an anagram – and saw five competitors in with a chance of the prize.
Although the other four admitted they were clueless, leaving Matthew to theorise a word and send it through.
After a short pause, Lee finally told him his response was correct.
He confirmed the response was ‘elephant’ which prompted a huge smile and fist pump from the contestant, who donned an orange shirt and glasses for his TV stint.
Lee then told him: “Congratulations Matthew! You are the winner to everything in the prize pot! That’s £99,000!”
The 1% Club continues Saturday nights on ITV1.
