Line-up announced for the next series of Taskmaster

Who will be the show's 21st champion?

As the latest Taskmaster's New Year Treat came to an end, Channel 4 revealed which five brand-new stout-hearted contestants are set to grasp the opportunity to impress the mighty Taskmaster Greg Davies, under the vigilant observation of Little Alex Horne. And it's an impressive line-up!

The fearless five who have signed up to leave all dignity at the door and demonstrate their nerve, cunning, and dexterity are comedian, actor and writer Amy Gledhill, writer, director, and broadcaster Armando Iannucci, presenter, broadcaster and actress Joanna Page, Comedian and presenter Joel Dommett and writer, actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani.

They'll each step forward with a healthy mix of respect, fear and a keen desire to lay claim to Greg’s golden head, struck in what is potentially 24-carat gold, and become the next Taskmaster Champion.

Taskmaster will air later this year on Channel 4
