ITV announces huge changes to The 1% Club and fans will be very happy

ITV The 1% Club returns this autumn for a brand new special week-long rollover even.

The Saturday night version of The 1% Club, fronted by comedian Lee Mack will be turned into a supersized five-day primetime event in The 1% Club Rollover.

The 1% Club Rollover shares the same game mechanics as The 1% Club, but this time it’s bigger than ever as it enables the prize pot that's not won on one show to rollover to the next day.

If all the pots rollover, there could be an astonishing amount of up to £500,000 won.

The Rollover has another rule, anyone who gets as far as the 1% question automatically comes back to compete again.

This means that if someone wins big on one show, they get to come back for the next day’s show where they could potentially win the Prize Pot again and in effect, double (or even treble or quadruple) their winnings.

Sue Murphy Head of Factual Entertainment ITV said: "The 1% Club Rollover as event TV is a perfect fit.

"The series continues to go from strength to strength and has become a must watch in homes across the country on Saturday nights.

"This special Rollover week will really be a primetime event that will have the nation hooked. Five nights of The 1% Club and Lee Mack… What’s not to like?"

The 1% Club is a global hit and the biggest original quiz show in more than a decade.

It regularly exceeds six million viewers an episode, and since it launched three years ago, it has been streamed over 40 million times and reached 43 million viewers.

The success of The 1% Club has seen the show win a host of awards including: two National TV Awards for Best Quiz Show, two Broadcast Awards for Best Entertainment Show, a Rose d’Or for Best Entertainment Show and a TRIC Award for Best Gameshow.

The 1% Club was also nominated at the BAFTAs for Best Entertainment Show and Lee Mack for Best Entertainment Performance.

The popular quiz show is known for leaving players with their minds boggling thanks to its tough questions as the game goes on.

The 1% Club is set to return to ITV1 and ITVX later this year
