Lee Mack, who continues to host The 1% Club tonight (February 7), previously had an “awkward” encounter with a “stalker” contestant.
The game show starts with 100 competitors who must work their way through a set of logic challenges that grow tougher at each stage. Any player who manages to solve a question that only one percent of people can answer correctly walks away with a massive cash prize.
People from every age group and background are welcome to compete, since success depends on logic and practical reasoning rather than memorized facts.

Lee Mack and ‘stalker’ contestant on The 1% Club
While presenting last week’s show (January 31), Lee was warming up the audience and asked contestant Anna how she would spend the prize money.
However, she admitted she wasn’t focused on winning, explaining, “I’m not really here to win I just wanted to see you. I’m hoping to get a picture or something.”
Lee told Anna that if she reached the final question and joined him on stage, he would be happy to take a selfie with her. He then asked her once more what she would do with the prize money.
She repeated her stance, saying: “Again, I’m not really here for the money so I don’t really expect to win the money. I’m just here to see you and get my picture.”
Lee jokingly responded that he might “have to get an injunction,” prompting Anna to clarify: “No, no not in a stalker way. We have met before. I came to watch you in the audience of Not Going Out and got to come back stage. I knew Martin from lighting so we got to go back stage and Matthew Kelly was there.”
