The Saturday night favourite, fronted by comedian Lee Mack, has become a ratings hit and has already found itself picking up more than a few gongs.
But even the ITV celebs are left struggling with some of the questions asked on the show.
In a new promo, Holly, Ant and Dec, Kingfisher and Alesha were all asked to answer: "Which word continues the pattern to complete the sentence? Jo the chef likes eating chicken..."
The answers that they celebs could pick from were "wings", "nuggets" and "jalfrezi".

Whilst Dec and Holly appeared to have some what of a clue as to work out the answer, former Mis-Teeq singer Alesha was more bamboozled by something else as she exclaimed: "Who is Jo the chef?!"
Holly appeared to work out a formula as she could be heard asking how many letters there were before she began to add them up.
Ant and Dec also had the same idea and appeared to get the correct formula, however, they still appeared to select the wrong answer.
Whilst Alesha went for "wings", the Geordie duo and Holly both plucked for "nuggets".

However, the correct answer was in fact "jalfrezi".
This is because "jalfrezi" contains eight letters which each word in the statement having a letter added too it.
The statement currently contained words that began at two letters before the final word "chicken" had reached seven letter.
It meant that the next word must contain eight letters and as such left "jalfrezi" as the only possible answer.
Hitting out at the famous faces, one viewer insisted that it was "very easy" as they wrote: "That wasn’t a 1% question, think it was 10 or 20% either way very easy."
The Masked Singer's Kingfisher got the question correct but with the mystery celeb still in the contest, the identity of who is behind the mask remains a mystery.
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
- The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
- The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
