Lee Mack's new game show 'put on hold' by ITV
Lee Mack's new game show has been shelved by ITV.
The 52-year-old comedian was set to host 'The 1% Club' - which would have seen 100 contestants answering a series of questions - but the eight-episode series has been paused because the coronavirus pandemic has made shooting the show a logistical "nightmare".
A source told The Sun newspaper: "A pilot for 'The 1% Club' was made in January last year with Lee at the helm, but since then, any plans have been on hold.
"The pandemic has made filming a nightmare for most production companies but with 100 people taking part, it’s been impossible.
"Lee’s show was meant to be airing now and it’s just become another scheduling headache for ITV.
"Everyone is hopeful 'The 1% Club' will go ahead at some point after the pandemic and Lee is completely committed."
