Channel 4 has revealed the guest line-up for Taskmaster’s New Year Treat.
David James (Richard Osman’s House of Games), the former footballer for England and Liverpool, will be joined by presenter and mathematician Hannah Fry (Have I Got News for You).
Also participating will be Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis (The Martin Lewis Money Show), actor Sue Johnston (The Royle Family) and singer-songwriter Melanie Blatt.
Alex Horne (8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown) and Greg Davies (The Cleaner) will be on-hand to provide guidance and mockery in equal measure.
Previous editions of the New Year Treat have seen Twitter’s favourite Guardian columnist Adrian Charles try and navigate a pole through a house. Another noteworthy challenge involved counting the dots on a sheet of paper while dealing with a series of distractions, baffling Carol Vorderman (Countdown) and Amelia Dimoldenberg (Chicken Shop Date) alike.
The last full-length series of Taskmaster – the show’s 18th, which aired this Autumn – was won by comedian Andy Zaltzman (8 Out of 10 Cats). This time round, contestants will be vying for Greg’s golden eyebrows.
