Audible gasps filled the ITV studio during The 1% Club when an astonishing 32 contestants were simultaneously eliminated after failing to answer a single question correctly on the episode aired Saturday, May 18. Lee Mack, who hosts the brain-teasing quiz show, witnessed as the competitors tackled challenging puzzles and riddles with the hope of claiming the grand prize of £100,000.

In a shocking twist that deviated from the norm, where only a handful of participants are typically sent packing after each round, this mass exodus left both the audience and contestants stunned. As the clock ticked down and the correct solution was revealed, host Lee Mack exclaimed: "Wow. That is massive. 32 people went out on that one!"

The tricky question that stumped the crowd was: Which of these would it be impossible to do? (A) Marry your cousin's cousin (B) Marry your brother's widow (C) Marry your widow's sister.

Lee clarified that the correct answer was C, pointing out that "you would not be able to marry your widow's sister as you would already be dead. Before we get any complaints - I accept that is a bit zombie-ist," he quipped.

Jamil, a contestant on the show, admitted to choosing the incorrect option: "I put B," he said. Lee clarified: "Yes, your brother's widow - she's still alive but your brother has died. This isn't me breaking any news, I'm just telling you the answer to the question!"

Kate, another contestant, expressed her confusion: "I still thought I was right for a really long time, even after you told us the right answer."

Lee responded with a joke: "You sound just like my wife! " He then asked Kate what her answer was. "B," she replied.

"That's very frustrating," Lee retorted.

Viewers were left stunned by the mass elimination of contestants as one shared a meme of a shocked cat with the caption 'WTF', commenting: "How did 32 people get that wrong! #The1PercentClub," Another viewer exclaimed: "Flipping heck 32 out! " while a third described it as "A total massacre in that question."

"32 out on that question. Must be a record. #The1PercentClub," another viewer noted. "WTAF? ? 32 out! #The1PercentClub" echoed another.
