Portrush optician has his sights set on joining ITV's 1% Club!

A Portrush optician has his sights set on joining ITV’s 1% Club – the quiz where contestants must answer a question only 1% of the UK know.

Stephen Vandevyver of I Care Opticians in the resort will be appearing on the show, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, this Saturday, January 17.

The 1% Club is an award-winning quiz show where 100 contestants answer logic and common-sense questions, starting from those 90% of people get right, to reach the final question only 1% of the UK population would answer correctly, with a chance to win up to £100,000.

And, it’s going to be easy to spot Stephen among the crowd of 100 contestants, according to his I Care colleagues.

"You should be able to spot the yellow specs in the crowd.”

Good luck Stephen!
