Taskmaster gets a Christmas special

But the line-up is under wraps

Taskmaster is to air a one-off Christmas special with a mystery line-up.

Chanel 4 says only that the five competitors come from the worlds of ‘TV, film, radio, journalism, and shiny floor entertainment’ and are experts in their fields.

The latest series -  featuring Daisy May Cooper, Johnny Vegas, Katherine Parkinson, Mawaan Rizwan and Richard Herring – has attracted a consolidated average audience of three million viewers, making it Channel 4’s biggest new title for young viewers this year.
