Holly Willoughby & Ant and Dec left red-faced after getting ‘very easy’ 1% Club question WRONG – could you crack it?
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.
It meant that the next word must contain eight letters and as such left “jalfrezi” as the only possible answer.
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.
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show’s history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
- The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack’s popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna’s birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen’s birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir’s birthday must be the ‘X’ of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
- The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
Cyclist Sara Piffer killed aged 19 in horror road accident before her dad makes incredible gesture to driver who hit her
A TEENAGE cyclist was killed in a horror traffic collision during a training ride.
Sara Piffer, 19, was hit head-on and killed when an oncoming car overtook from the other side of the road and crashed into her.
The incident occurred as Piffer went for the ride with her brother near her home in Trentino, northern Italy, with several eyewitnesses confirming details of the crash with police.
A driver who hit and killed her, a 70-year-old man, is being investigated by police for vehicular homicide.
Reports suggest the driver struggled to see her due to the sun. Piffer was taken to hospital by helicopter but died due to her injuries.
But in a stunning gesture, the father of the young athlete, Lorenzo, has said he forgives the driver.
It came following a plea from his son, Christian, who was out with Priffer when the crash happened.
Lorenzo said: “After the accident, my son Christian hugged me and said, ‘Dad, please forgive him. Because I think he’s suffering right now too.’
“So I decided to forgive him. Then justice will take its course.”
Lorenzo added his daughter was “always careful” on the roads, which he later described as a “Wild West”.
Christian reportedly called his father following the crash, tragically telling him, “Sara is not breathing”.
Before heading out, Piffer is said to have told Lorezno before going out: “‘Dad, we always pay attention, it’s the others who don’t pay attention to us.’ And unfortunately, that’s how it was.”
The death of Piffer – said to be sporty and artistic and enjoy painting and making sculptures – has rocked the local community, with tributes pouring in.
Lorenzo told Italian media in an emotional interview she was “a flower, a gift from God” and he was “grateful” to have had her in his life.
He added: “She was good at doing everything.”
Maurizio Fugatti, the President of the Province of Trento, said in a statement: “Our condolences go out to the family, friends and the entire community.”
Piffer was a winner of the Under-23 Giornata Nazionale Rosa – GP Città di Corridonia in 2024, a member of Mendelspeck Continental women’s team and earned fourth place in a team time trial event at the Italian National al Championships.
Christian miraculously only suffered minor injuries from the incident.
He said: “I heard a noise, I looked back, then ran to my sister but there was nothing I could do. At first I was angry with the driver, then I saw that they were scared and ashamed.”
Lorenzo also highlighted how the roads around town had gotten out of control.
He said: “I’d say we need more common sense. Unfortunately, they always realise it too late. Maybe to save that minute they put other people’s lives at risk. I see things getting worse on the roads.”
Piffer’s funeral was held today.
In an interview with La Repubblica, her mother, Marianna, said: “They asked me to choose the clothes for my daughter’s funeral, I picked a cycling jersey she won last year.
“It has ‘winner’ on the front and she dedicated that success to Matteo Lorenzi, who was killed last year. Sara was always a winner for me.”
Sophie Wessex debuts glittering £15k Chopard gift from husband Prince Edward after celebrating 60th with Princess Kate
BEING in the royal family certainly has its perks, particularly when it comes to extravagant gifts.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who celebrated her 60th birthday this month, recently dazzled in a £15,000 Chopard jewellery gift, thought to be from Prince Edward.
The stunning diamond set – which included a necklace, bracelet and stud earrings, could well have been a Christmas present from her husband of 25 years.
The jewellery items are from the ‘Happy Diamonds’ collection – and Sophie debuted them on Christmas Day as she went to church with the royals.
If they were from Edward, they appear to have gone down well with Sophie.
The hard-working duchess showed off the set again last Thursday on a visit to Sandhurst, the Royal Military Academy that trained up the likes of Princes William and Harry.
As she attended the Royal Corps of Army Music Dinner in her role as Colonel-in-Chief, Sophie looked sensational in a grey floor-length Erden “Lindsay” gown.
The dress, which features a high neckline and long, sheer sleeves was cinched in at the waist with a matching belt.
Sophie has worn the sparkly dress a number of times before, including during her 2023 Canadian trip, and she could have taken style notes from Princess Kate.
The Princess of Wales wore a similar Erdem style in a midi length at the UK-India Year of Culture launch event in 2017 that was hosted by the late Queen.
Sophie celebrated her birthday with a party organised by her husband Prince Edward.
The dinner and dance was held at Bagshot Park, the grand house in Berkshire which Edward and Sophie moved into shortly after their wedding in 1999.
Yet despite its grandeur, 120-room Bagshot has rarely been used by Edward and Sophie for formal entertaining.
But they opened up their home for Sophie’s black-tie bash, to which all members of the Royal family were invited.
Staff for the party were borrowed from nearby Windsor Castle as the Edinburghs do not lead an ostentatious life.
Their only everyday employees are a butler (whose actual job title is Household Manager) and a housemaid/cleaner.
“Neither Sophie or Edward are what you might call big party animals,” says a source close to the family.
Naturally included for the celebrations were the Edinburghs’ son James, Viscount Severn, 16, who is studying for his A-levels at the all-boys boarding school Radley, and daughter Lady Louise, 21, who is reading English at St Andrew’s University.
Sophie’s bond with Kate
Sophie has been a pillar of support at a time when the Royal Family was hit by two alarming developments – the news that the Princess of Wales was suffering from cancer which had been discovered after she had abdominal surgery – and the shock announcement shortly afterwards that King Charles was also being treated for cancer.
William especially was grateful that the moment she heard of Kate’s condition Sophie was in touch to see how she could help.
When Kate stepped back from public life, Sophie was the first to take on some of her engagements.
“That sort of pragmatism, a genuine desire to help and support someone who has been knocked off kilter, is pure Sophie,” says a senior royal source.
“It really helped William and Kate, obviously in a practical way, but also knowing Sophie could always be relied upon to give her support whenever it was needed.”
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh's 'humble' start in life
UNLIKE Prince Edward, Sophie comes from humble beginnings.
The daughter of a tyre salesman and a secretary, she was working in PR at Capital Radio when they met in 1987.
Edward was dating her friend at the time, but six years later they got together after a charity event.
Sophie continued to work for a few years after they got married before finally becoming a full-time royal in 2002.
“I remember our first meeting many years ago when she was just becoming known as Edward’s girlfriend,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said.
“I was lunching at The Ritz with one of the Queen Mother’s ladies in waiting when I saw Sophie at a nearby table. I seized the moment and introduced myself which was probably very annoying for her, but she was charm personified, and we chatted for a few minutes.
“And I really don’t think she has changed much since then.
“Yes, she and Edward live in a mansion, have titles and huge privilege, but Sophie has known a life outside those cloistered palace walls and she has kept her sense of perspective.
“For example, she has told her children that, titles or no titles – and they have chosen thus far not to use their HRH status – they should expect to have to earn a living.
“Sophie was happy for her daughter to take on a seasonal job at a garden centre for less than £7 an hour.
“And during the pandemic Sophie served as a volunteer with the Royal Voluntary Service, talking with people on the phone to help them combat the feeling of isolation – and she carried on talking with some of them after the pandemic ended.
“She will also often travel under the radar to places like Malawi, Botswana or Ethiopia to visit projects dedicated to promoting eye health and preventing blindness, and she does this from the heart after her daughter Louise was born with a squint.
“Sophie is one of the strengths of the new monarchy – elegant, engaging and empathetic. I think people have really taken her into their hearts.”
And that support was extended to the Wales’s children, with ‘Aunt Sophie’ arranging picnics and playdates at Bagshot for George, Louis and Charlotte, during the times when Kate needed to rest after her debilitating sessions of chemotherapy.
Despite their 18-year age gap, Sophie’s relationship with Kate – which has always been warm – has deepened in the last year.
Her support for the princess was evident on Remembrance Sunday, when Kate looked to be on the verge of tears at the end of the service at the Cenotaph.
Sophie simply placed her hand on Kate’s shoulder as the pair made their way from a balcony.
Workers will make three longstanding and genuine friendships from their career, survey finds
WORKERS will make only three longstanding and genuine friendships from their career, a survey has found.
Research of 2,000 employed adults has revealed that over a third rely on work friends to help them “overcome” personal and professional challenges.
Nearly 90 per cent of team members report having made friendships at work, with 76 per cent believing that these relationships help to “enhance” their careers.
In fact, 72 per cent are more motivated to perform when they have friends among their colleagues.
Women are 10 per cent more likely to seek emotional support during difficult times from friendly colleagues, compared to men.
The research was commissioned by Santander UK as part of its Women Business Leaders’ Mentoring Programme, which connects aspiring leaders with experienced mentors to foster growth, innovation, and collaboration.
Sarah Willingham, an entrepreneur and former Dragons’ Den investor, said: “Building strong, supportive relationships in the workplace is invaluable.
“This research highlights the importance of creating meaningful professional networks and friendships, and in many cases, it is key to overcoming challenges and achieving goals.
“Strong workplace relationships aren’t just about career success – they can enhance confidence, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
“That’s why mentoring programmes are crucial for helping individuals develop these relationships, offering a pathway to both personal and professional growth.”
Younger employees, aged 18 to 24, are especially keen on forging professional friendships, with 85 per cent stating this is important to them.
This stands in contrast to 66 per cent of older employees (aged 55-64) who share the same sentiment.
Those earlier into their careers are having weekend lunches and shopping trips with colleagues.
While less than 20 per cent are going to gigs, around ten per cent to hikes and slightly less going on bike rides together with work friends.
When it comes to building professional connections, 34 per cent of all respondents said it’s easiest to connect with others in the same industry, while 28 per cent find it easy to do so with those of the same gender.
Additionally, 78 per cent think workplace friendships improve job satisfaction, with 41 per cent saying it enhances collaboration and 39 per cent believing it aids problem-solving.
The figures also reveal men are significantly more comfortable approaching professional contacts in several scenarios – including to collaborate on projects, asking for career advice, and job referrals.
While 21 per cent of women are comfortable approaching professional contacts about mentoring or sponsorship, compared to a third of men.
The research, conducted via OnePoll, went on to highlight the importance of mentorships, with 65 per cent considering it vital for career growth.
Among these, 41 per cent value mentors for sharing advice based on experience, while 36 per cent appreciate the constructive feedback they provide.
Susan Davies, head of business banking at Santander UK, said: “Workplace relationships are vital for career development and personal wellbeing.
“Having a mentor can make a world of difference by providing guidance, sharing knowledge, and fostering confidence – all of which can help people navigate their career path.
“The programme is designed to help business founders create these meaningful connections, empowering individuals to thrive in their careers and beyond.”
