The 1% Club fans stunned as host Lee Mack reveals real name


TV star Lee Mack has become a household name over the past two decades thanks to his work in comedy, but who knew that he's actually known by a different name entirely?

He's currently king of Saturday night TV with his hugely-intriguing ITV gameshow The 1% Club, where 100 contestants try to win up to £100,000 by solving IQ test-style questions, and are eliminated as the show progresses. After dropping out of college due to failing his O-Levels, Mack found himself in a tight spot and managed to land the role, despite never having ridden a horse before, reports Wales Online.
