The 1% Club viewers were left surprised this weekend, when a player made a never-before-seen move during the game.
The ITV show sees comedian Lee Mack attempt to find the smartest one percent group in Britain.
When the gameshow begins, it seems as though it will be pretty straightforward – especially considering most members of the public can crack the first few questions, but soon, increasingly difficult questions see the group whittled down to just one percent.
The contestants are competing to win prize money up to £100,000, but only a few have ever taken home the jackpot.
During Saturday’s episode of the show, contestant Liz was the only player to reach the final, most difficult question.
But interestingly, for Liz, it wasn’t simply a case of deciding whether to play, after she told host Lee that she’d actually had a premonition about the moment the night before.

She explained: “I got to this point in my dream last night. I decided I wanted to take the £10,000 but something went wrong and I played the question but got it wrong.”
Liz had told Lee earlier in the show that she was hoping for £10,000 to buy her husband a ticket to attend the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
Due to being on the fence about taking such a risk, Liz then decided to do something never seen on the show before – she asked the audience for help.
“We have never had anybody ask the studio that question before,” said Lee.
Liz ultimately decided not to risk it, and walked away with the £10,000, which ended up being a great decision on her part.

The final question was: “If you can roll six different numbers using one standard dice, how many different totals can you make by rolling three identical standard dice.”
Liz revealed the answer she would have given – 102 – which was far off the correct answer of 16.
Viewers were completely taken aback, with many believing Liz to be psychic.
One person wrote: “Wow! Her dream actually came true #the1%club.”
While another said: “This woman who had that dream must be psychic.”

Last month, Maccisha made history as the first ever winner of the £100k, thanks to her correct answer on an incredibly difficult question, which maybe not even one percent of the country could actually answer.
The question was as follows: “What is the lowest number that replaces the question mark in this sequence?”
The three finalists were then shown the following sequence of numbers:
1+2 = one
2+2 = four
3+2 = three
3+3 = eleven
4+3 = ??
Upon first glance, the question makes no sense whatsoever, however, the clue is in how the numbers are written.
The first number in the sequence is the number of consonants, and the second is the number of vowels. So one is the lowest number with one consonant and two vowels, four is the lowest with two of each, three is the lowest with three consonants and two vowels, and 11 is the lowest with three of each.
Following this logic, 15 is the lowest number with four consonants and three vowels.
