The five comedians set to complete a series of challenges this time are Joanne McNally, John Robins, Nick Mohammed, Sophie Willan and Steve Pemberton.

In order to win the golden trophy, each celeb will have to try their best to hunt for patatas, hoopla a gorilla and hug a special friend. 

And for the first time ever audiences will also get a chance to fully immerse themselves in the Taskmaster experience as a brand new virtual reality version of the game show is being launched later this year for Meta Quest and SteamVR.

Cop show lovers will also be able to get their fix again soon as Night Coppers and 24 Hours in Police Custody release dates are revealed to be in a matter of weeks.

Now a fresh series is expected to air on Monday, March 25.
