This time around, Taskmaster winners (and one runner-up) from seasons 11 through to 15 will be put through their paces by Greg Davies and Alex Horne, as they vie for the chance to win and mount their golden head atop Greg's golden body (which takes the form of a literal body statue).

But who are the contestants? Which participants from Taskmasters past will be joining Greg and Alex?

Here's who is in the line-up for Taskmaster's Champion of Champions 3.
