Fans of The 1% Club were up in arms when a 'simple' word question wiped out 16 celebrity contestants.
Saturday's instalment of the ITV quiz show, hosted by Lee Mack, was a Soccer Aid special and saw 100 stars attempt to win a whopping £100,000 for UNICEF.
Celebrities including reality star Chris Hughes, Tommy Fury, former Love Islander Amber Gill and comic Paddy McGuinness.
The 1% Club questions were put to the public, with the percentage who got them right determining the difficulty of each round.
Aptly, the final question is one that just 1% of the public answered correctly.

But during the special episode, some of the celebrities found the 70% question, which is supposed to be slightly easier, particularly tricky.
It read: 'Which of these is an anagram of LIONEL MESSI?'
The stars were presented with three anagrams: A) LONE MISSILE, B, LION IN SLIME and C, NO SMILES LEE.
After 30 seconds, the correct answer was revealed to be A.
16 celebrities answered it wrong and Emmett J. Scanlan was one of the stars kicked out of the game.
'Mate, I was going to do A as well. I did B,' he quipped, before admitting it was a 'random guess' and he 'panicked'.
Former footballer Stuart Pearce also got it incorrect and revealed he had put C, adding: 'Clock beat me, panic set in.'
One watcher was shocked by how many were knocked out of the round and several fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the show.
