Greg Davies, revered as the supreme Taskmaster, alongside his devoted assistant Little Alex Horne, is ready to welcome a diverse group of five celebrities from across the entertainment spectrum.

Taskmaster’s New Year Treat line up

Entrepreneur and renowned Dragon from ‘Dragon’s Den’, Deborah Meaden, will bring her business acumen to the wacky world of Taskmaster. Joining her is Kojey Radical, a Mercury Prize and MOBO Award-nominated music artist known for his unique style.

The charismatic BAFTA-winning actor Lenny Rush is also set to showcase his competitive spirit. Steve Backshall, a familiar face as a TV presenter, adventurer, author, and wildlife expert, will demonstrate his adventurous prowess.

Completing the lineup is the beloved radio and television presenter Zoe Ball, known for her energetic and engaging personality.

These courageous contestants will plunge into what is arguably television’s most surreal and cutthroat competition. Their aim is to impress the Taskmaster and outdo each other in a series of ludicrous tasks.

The stakes are high as they vie for points, seeking the Taskmaster’s elusive praise while steering clear of his often acerbic judgement. The ultimate prize is the much-coveted Taskmaster’s unique Trophy of Eyebrows, a symbol of quirky victory in this eccentric contest.
