80 jili The 1 Percent Club fans were left seething after noticing a significant alteration to the ITV quiz show. Returning for a fresh series this Monday, the show - presented by Lee Mack - saw contestants tackle a barrage of questions to progress through rounds and vie for the prize pot, with fans eagerly participating from home. Yet, viewers have spotted a substantial change in the new series that has sparked outrage. The introduction of a revamped accompanying app has drawn ire on social media, as it now allows users to answer questions at a faster pace than the TV contestants, effectively spoiling the sequence of reveals. One disgruntled viewer lamented: "The app not being linked to the show is a bit s***! What's the point watching it if you can just finish the questions right away! #The1PercentClub," while another expressed disappointment: "Aww The app doesn't play along with the programme like it used to do. You can just whiz through the questions. Done them all already, so don't need to watch anymore." Another shared: "Why isn't #The1PercentClub app playalong synced with the TV show anymore? You can now play the entire game and find out what all the questions for the episode are before Part 1 has even finished." One added: "Is there any point watching #The1PercentClub anymore if you can just blast through all the questions on the app before they are shown on the programme?" as another shared: "Why has the app for #the1percentclub changed? It used to play along live with the show but I've already been able to answer the first 3 questions while the first was still in." The show's loyal audience was also puzzled to see the show moved from its regular Saturday evening slot. ITV1 announced an unusual schedule change, revealing on its Twitter account that the series would air each night of the week, leaving fans scratching their heads. The official account posted a teaser: "A 90% question for you: The 1% Club is usually on Saturday nights (and will be again for S4). But there are also 4 BRAND NEW episodes on @itv this week as well. Are they on: A) Just Monday at 9pm B) Monday to Thursday every night at 9pm? Your 30 secs start now! #the1percentclub." Despite the buzz around the new episodes, some viewers were less than happy with the scheduling change. A frustrated tweet read: "This is not the quiz for a weeknight - celebrity chase, who wants to be a millionaire- perfect mid-week quiz. This one is for a Saturday night with alcohol because then we can blame the booze for not understanding the question." Another added: "Why have they moved this to a Monday? Much more fun trying to play this after a bottle of red on a Saturday night," as a third wrote: "Wait, it is Monday ain't it? New episode of #the1percentclub on telly. I've always thought Saturday night formats could draw an audience in the week. But like it matters what I think." *The 1 Percent Club will air all this week on ITV1 and ITVX.

Carly Teller, the wife of offensive lineman Wyatt Teller, has opened up about her experience during the Ohio team’s most recent game. In a recent X/Twitter shared after the Browns played against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday (December 8), Carly called out the Steelers fan base and revealed . “The fans in Pittsburgh today were so blatantly disrespectful to me and the Browns girls,” her post read. “I’ve never felt so attacked by people who I literally did nothing to. Very sad/embarrassing behavior.” Many people in the comments section agreed with Teller that some fans take their love for their favorite team a bit too far. “Sorry, you had to deal with these savages, Carly. I know you repped our city and team with class. It’s a shame you had to be exposed to such horrible people while simply cheering on your man. Us browns fans will always have your back,” one comment . Another commenter agreed, : “That is classless. It’s a rivalry. You can chant at the opposing player/team. Browns fans do it too, but it stays on the field. That is disgusting to behave like that to players’ family members. Families are off limits.” Taking to her Story, Carly further detailed the incident in text over a selfie with her friend. “When you’re just trying to have a drink and watch your husbands at work but surrounded by Steelers fans who are screaming at you and the entire team,” the text read. However, the NFL player’s wife seemed to brush off the events of the game shortly after. She posted a message on X/Twitter, which read: “Anyway... back to my bubble in Cleveland to work on my little Christmas cards!” On Sunday, the Browns lost against the Steelers with a final score of 14 to 27. In a , Wyatt addressed his wife’s social media comments about the “hostile environment” at NFL games. “So long as they don’t put their hands on a woman or crazy expose themselves or spit on my wife, you can say whatever you want,” he said. “You have to understand when you’re in a hostile environment, like, that’s what you’re going to get.” Wyatt clarified that the rivalry between the Steelers and the Browns dates back for years, though some fans end up taking it to the extreme. “I pray our fans are a little better, but I know the Dawg Pound can get a little rowdy,” he noted. “I’m not naive to the fact that this rivalry goes so far back. You’ve got to understand it’s hostile out there.” Following the team’s loss, the Browns were ultimately eliminated from receiving a spot in the NFL playoffs. The team will be facing off against reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, on Sunday, December 15.
