The 1% Club star reveals crew make-up artist gave birth during ad break on show

Fans of ITV gameshow The 1% Club will know that the Lee Mack-hosted series often brings the drama - but not as much as its Australian counterpart it seems!

Jim Jefferies, who presents the Australian version of the hit game show, has revealed that a heavily pregnant make-up artist on set went into labour as they were filming an episode. "She went into labour while doing my hair and make-up," he told 7NEWS.com.au. "To begin with, she just thought she was having a bit of a tummy rumble or something, but she went into labour!

To her credit, she finished my hair and make-up, and doing my hair is no easy job — it’s a real smoke-and-mirrors show to get that thing looking alright." While the make-up artist wasn't sure whether she had gone into labour by the time filming began, the news was confirmed to Jim when he entered the first ad break. "But when we went to the ad break and I went to catch up with her, the producers said, ‘She’s gone to have the baby!’ By the time we got to the next ad break, she’d already had the baby!" The hair and make-up artist welcomed a little boy. "So turns out it takes so long to film an episode of 1% Club that you can go into labour, go to hospital, have a baby and call back," Jim joked.

The 1% Club sees 100 contestants face a series of questions, beginning with ones that 90 percent of the country can answer and ending with a quiz that just one percent of country managed.
