Taskmaster series 13 official line-up has been announced

Smash-hit BAFTA-winning comedy show Taskmaster is returning to our screens for another side-splitting series.

"Little" Alex Horne and the Taskmaster himself, the legendary Greg Davies, are both set to make another comeback following the crowning of the latest champion, Series 12 winner Morgana Robinson.

She competed against Guz Khan, Desiree Burch, Alan Davies and Victoria Coren Mitchell for 10 weeks.

However, with a new series on the horizon and Channel 4 viewers' excitement building, the same question is on everybody's lips: Who will feature this time around?

The first comedy big-name set to step into the Taskmaster's house and show their mettle in the most hard-fought but utterly bizarre show on television, is Ardal O’Hanlon.

The iconic Irish actor and funny-man, 56, best known for his role as Father Dougal McGuire in hit sitcom 'Father Ted', will also be joined by award-winning comedian Bridget Christie.

50-year-old Gloucester-born Christie, who has written and performed in 12 Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows, has bagged numerous national and international awards for her work in comedy.

The South Shields comedy superstar, 35, best known for presenting series' such as 'I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp', as well as his own 'The Chris Ramsey Show', will also be joined by the one and only, Judi Love.

Duker, who's first stand-up show, "Diet Woke" was premiered in 2018, has since appeared in numerous series' such as 'Frankie Boyle's New World Order', as well as 'Mock The Week' and '8 Out of 10 Cats'.

Having signed up for the the unavoidable metaphorical slander at the hands of autocratic Taskmaster BY CHOICE, each comic have to bring their A-game to a brand new set of tasks designed to test their courage, capability and composure under extreme pressure.
