A UK quiz show question about book spacing sparked backlash, costing a contestant £10,000.
On January 31, 2026, ITV’s The 1% Club sparked controversy after its final question, which asked for the distance between the first page of the first book and the last page of the third in a row of cookery volumes.
The correct answer, 7cm, hinged on the placement of books on a shelf, but many viewers called the question misleading and unfair, criticizing its unintuitive logic.
Contestant Amena, who had earned £10,000, lost her prize by answering 14.9cm.
The episode also featured a lighthearted moment when contestant Anna, who attended to meet host Lee Mack, received a photo with him after reaching the final question, despite being eliminated.
