Host Lee asked the question: “A family of five are doing the Hokey Cokey. Grandma always gets it wrong and puts an arm in when everyone else puts a leg in and a leg in when everyone else puts an arm in.

“When the song says ‘you put your left leg in’, how many legs in total are not ‘in’?”

The comedian joked: "What's wrong with this family? Is the wifi down?"

He then explained: “We lost three people there. Let's have a look at the answer. It's six.

"Four people are doing it correctly. So we have one leg in and one leg out, but Grandma has her arm in and both legs out - and four plus two is six."

The show's official account wrote on X: "Hokey Cokey gone wrong! How many legs are left out?"

One user on X admitted: "I forgot Granny was part of the five people."

A second commented: "Ah! Used my pass, couldn't think quick enough."

A third added: "I said five but meant six, so still in!"

Saturday night's episode once again saw 100 contestants try and make it to the 1% question and be in with a chance to win a share of the jackpot.

The 1% Club's Lee Mack declares 'that was carnage' as early question wipes 17 players - but could you get it right?

But 17 players were knocked out early doors at the 80% question.

In the end, only one person made it to the 1% question, a contestant named Steve.

He decided to gamble the £10,000 he had secured for getting that far to have a stab at winning £100,000.

The question was: "What two letters replace the question marks?"

Underneath the rest of the puzzling question read: "TE times T equals MESSAGE. TO times IN equals POISON. E times ?? equals LEAVE."

After his 30 seconds were up, Steve revealed he had locked in his answer as "NE."

There was a dramatic pause, then Lee revealed he had got it wrong, with the correct answer being "IT."

The 1% Club airs on Saturdays on ITV and is available on ITVX.
