The 1% Club contestant, 52, dies after filming: Fans of ITV quiz pay tribute to Steven Wong after Saturday's show was dedicated to him at the end of credits

A contestant on the The 1% Club died after filming for an appearance on the popular ITV quiz show hosted by comedian Lee Mack. 

Steven Wong's death was announced at the end of the episode which aired on Saturday night.

Mr Wong, 52, had a colourful life and shared his encounter with Hollywood stardom-when he narrowly lost out for a role in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. 

Had he made the part in the 1984 classic he would have featured with Harrison Ford. 

He told fellow contestants: 'I did not realise this but apparently we got down to the final two and it was me and another kid.

'Do not forget this was only when I was about ten!'

Mr Mack and the fellow guests were equally impressed by his interesting backstory. 

The host said: 'Wow! And you got down to the final two!' 

Before adding jokingly: 'You say you don't like to talk about it, you brought it up on national television.' 

But during the credits, a simple notice ran explaining Mr Wong died after filming but before the airing of the show. 

The show gets its name because 100 contestants enter hoping to claim the £100,000 prize money- but only one can win. 

Mr Wong managed to answer half of the questions before being eliminated in the later stage of the game.  

At the end of the programme viewers were greeted with the sad news Mr Wong had died. 

In a tribute to him in the credits, the creators said: 'In Memory of Steven Wong 1972-2024.' 

 The 1% Club began in April, 2022 and is onto its third series. 

It was created by executive producer Dean Nabarro and his colleague Andy Auerbach. 

Host Lee rose to fame on the comedy 'Not Going Out' but also appears on 'Would I Lie To You' and 'Have I Got News For You' and 'Taskmaster'.
