For the first time, Taskmaster’s New Year Treat will feature two festive episodes, bringing together five celebrity contestants from across the entertainment world to face a series of hilarious and bizarre challenges. The line-up of participants will be announced soon.
In addition to the festive episodes, Champion of Champions is making a comeback. Returning to compete for the ultimate Taskmaster crown are Sam Campbell, John Robins, Andy Zaltzman, and Mathew Baynton, joined by the winner of Season 20, who will be revealed on Thursday, 13th November at 9 p.m. on Channel 4.
