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.
“So, you can imagine we were worried no one was going to get past the eighty per cent question.”
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.
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.
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.
