Taskmaster season 13 release date: Contestants and latest news
Greg and Alex return to our screens tonight.
The thirteenth series of Taskmaster kicks off tonight on Channel 4, with Greg Davies and little Alex Horne returning to our screens to put a whole new celebrity cast through ridiculous challenges.
Fresh out of the Great Celebrity Bake Off tent, Horne is back with his tablet full of stats as he asks the likes of Chris Ramsay, Judi Love, Ardal O'Hanlon and other comedians in the Taskmaster season 13 cast to dive headfirst into silly yet hugely entertaining tasks.
Tonight's premiere episode will see the contestants attempt to "paint perfectly with their lips, effectively wrangle a cement mixer and chase Alex Horne around a tree while he's pedalling a tricycle", according to Channel 4 – so in other words, just a standard day in the Taskmaster house then.
