's The 1% Club took a hilarious turn this week, as Lee Mack welcomed back a whole new host of contestants trying to win some serious prize money.

The presenter interviewed several audience members throughout the episode, but one in particular stood out due to his bizarre job claims - and fans were perplexed.

Speaking to one man who claimed to "work at an airport", Lee made a surprising discovery.

Asked about his role at the airport, the man said: "I'm a penguin tipper."

He explained that his job was to pick up penguins that become distracted by planes flying overhead, subsequently tipping over.

Hilariously, he also claimed that his previous job title was "penguin erector", but that it had to be changed, causing Lee to query him on if he was lying.

After the man insisted he was telling the truth, Lee congratulated him on having "the most unusual job we've ever seen on the show".

However, a lot of fans had their suspicions, with one asking: "Wasn't the Penguin Tipper thing a popular April Fools joke a few years back?"

"'Penguin Tipper' because they get transfixed on airplanes going overhead and tumble over. But, QI told me that doesn't actually happen #the1percentclub," another tweeted. (sic)

"He's taking the Pingu! #the1percentclub," a third quipped, as another agreed with a laughing emoji: "'It used to be called penguin erections' nah i'm gone. That can't be real." (sic)

"Penguin tipper? Surely NOOT-NOOT!?!?" another joked, while one more wrote with laughing emojis: "Where do they get these people from that guys job is literally picking up missed Penguins #The1PercentClub." (sic)

Meanwhile, others admitted they would love to pick up penguins for a living, with one writing: "He has the best job in the world!"

Unfortunately, it would appear that 'Penguin Tipper' probably is a pretend title, according to Edinburgh Zoo.

As reported by , they confirmed: "We're sure this will come as a disappointment to many but there is no such position here at Edinburgh Zoo.

"It's a very popular rumour, but penguins do not track planes as they fly overhead.

The 1% Club returns next Saturday at 8.20pm on ITV.
