Popular ITV primetime show axed tonight amid massive scheduling shake-up | The Sun
POPULAR ITV quiz show The 1% Club has been axed tonight to avoid clashing with Eurovision.
The channel announced a massive schedule shake-up as Lee Mack's show and Britain's Got Talent both got the boot.
A channel spokesman for The 1% Club wrote on Twitter: "No show tonight, but back next week."
In a bid to entertain fans online instead, the account continued: "So here’s a quick question…
"Eurovision has a complicated voting system.
"If Croatia is happy to give Belgium or Ukraine 12 points, and Spain plan to give theirs to Italy, will France vote for Switzerland, Norway or Lithuania? #The1PercentClub."
