Hi Sian, welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help.

Have a good look at the number 1 key and check that a crumb or other foreign bit of debris hasn't part stuck it down, or does it seem loose? It sounds like the vibration of typing is making it make contact, which it would if stuck or loose.

If you have or can borrow a USB keyboard, try typing with that, if no errant number 1's, then it can only be the laptop keyboard rather than a software fault.
