But after he took to the stage to collect his latest trophy, he made a rather crude joke about the retired Lioness (36), who presented the category alongside Mo Gilligan (35).
Waving the gong, Lee joked: “To receive a sex toy like this from Jill Scott is an absolute pleasure.”
But some fans have taken to Xu, formerly of Twitter, claiming the Woke brigade will attack him for his spicy acceptance speech.
One person wrote: “Well, Lee Mack is going to be fired now.”
Another chimed in with: “Not sure @LeeMack did himself any favors. Still a big fan 100% of the club.”
Someone else added: “Watching Lee Mack try to be funny is just painful.”
However, some enjoyed the speech, with one writing, “Lee mack makes me cry with laughter oh my god.”
Another fan said: “Lee Mack proves what a real comedian can do if you have a bit of talent.”
The 1% Club was up against Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, The Chase Celebrity Special and Richard Osman’s House Of Games.
It’s not the first time Lee has come under fire for his jokes.
Earlier this year he was attacked by a stuttering charity after miming a speech impediment in Would I Lie To You?
Lee mocked Rob Brydon when he stumbled upon the word ‘She’ and compared him to Ronnie Barker Arkwright’s character from Open All Hours.
STAMMA subsequently told MailOnline in a statement: “It was disheartening to see Lee Mack and the Would I Lie to You crew mocking stuttering on Friday night’s show.
“Around 8% of children and at least 1% of adults stutter. This is our voice, so we speak. The thoughtless mockery we saw on WILTY offers us a stark choice between being laughed at or being silent.
“We know it was not intended to hurt or offend, but for many who stutter, it is.
“To all those adults and teenagers who stutter, and to all those parents who have children who stutter, know that there are many people who accept that stuttering is simply the way some of us communicate. They make space and time for us to talk and appreciate our fantastic, stuttering voices.”
