Taskmaster is set to welcome five new celebrity contestants for its annual festive special, Taskmaster’s New Year Treat, with a fresh collection of familiar faces preparing to take on Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne’s unusual challenges.
The latest line-up brings together personalities from television, music, broadcasting and the legal profession, all of whom will be expected to put their skills to the test in a series of deliberately ridiculous tasks. However, despite their respective achievements, none should expect any special treatment from the famously imposing Taskmaster or his loyal assistant.
The five celebrities cfestonfirmed for the festive edition are BAFTA-nominated television presenter Alison Hammond, best known for her appearances on Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off, chart-topping musician Chesney Hawkes, and railway enthusiast, broadcaster and viral content creator Francis Bourgeois, who has also appeared on Prime Video's The Grand Tour.
Completing the line-up are BBC Chief News Presenter Maryam Moshiri, presenter of The World Today With Maryam Moshiri on BBC News, and barrister, broadcaster and author Rob Rinder.
The special will once again bring together five well-known figures from very different backgrounds, creating an unpredictable mix as they attempt to impress Greg Davies while following the increasingly bizarre instructions provided by Alex Horne.
The BAFTA and Rose D'Or-winning entertainment show is set to return over the festive season with a double helping of Taskmaster's New Year Treat. Exact transmission details have yet to be announced and will be revealed in due course.
