This is the show\u2019s fourth outing since it made the move from Dave to Channel 4 in 2020, although the first to be back in front of a studio audience after the relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n
This time, the Taskmaster Greg Davies and show producer Alex Horne have another line-up of actors, comedians, broadcasters and writers competing in ridiculous tasks for the glory of being immortalised as Taskmaster Champion.<\/p>\n
Previous seasons of Taskmaster have given us tear-filled egg cups, foam hand charades, elegant cake destructions and so much more \u2013 but who are the Father Ted, A Book for Her, I\u2019m A Celebrity, Loose Women and Diet Woke stars taking part?<\/p>

She published A Book for Her<\/a> in 2016, and Netflix<\/a> also recorded Christie\u2019s Standup for Her, which you can watch for a taste of what\u2019s coming up in Taskmaster season 13.<\/p>\nChris Ramsey<\/strong><\/h2>\n ![\"""\"]( "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
