Little Alex Horne has spent his Christmas feverishly polishing Greg Davies' coveted golden eyebrows trophy in preparation for the annual Taskmaster's New Year Treat. The five brave bunnies who are battling to win that trophy, by donning gloves, regretting things and moving water, are David James, Hannah Fry, Martin Lewis, Melanie Blatt and Sue Johnston.

Further details

Gathering an eclectic mix of well-known faces from all corners of the entertainment world, Alex Horne and Greg Davies put a new intake of celebrities through their paces in the name of festive cheer.

Stepping up to compete are: former England and Liverpool footballer David James MBE; mathematician, science presenter and academic Professor Hannah Fry; singer songwriter and All Saints star Melanie Blatt; Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis CBE; and actor and Royle Family star Sue Johnston OBE.
