And it would appear that someone else who is always thinking about who they could rope into appearing is the host, Greg Davies.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the launch of the 12th series of the show, the stars have been speaking about the history of Taskmaster and what we can expect to see in the new series, and Greg was asked which faces he would like to see take part and he has a couple in mind that he has a good chance of getting \u2013 and at least one that we think may cause him some trouble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like Lorraine Kelly to be on it\u201d Davies admitted. \u201cShe\u2019s such a comforting presence. It\u2019d be good to see a different side of her. I suspect there might be an edge to her, so she\u2019d be hilarious. It\u2019s a great show for mischievous folk. Joanna Lumley would be great fun, get a bit of celebrity royalty on there.\u201d<\/p> <p>One person who he also would like to see though would certainly be quite the coup as they are actual royalty: Prince William. \u201cIt\u2019s the modern monarchy, so why not? Obviously, the door\u2019s closed to Harry now as he\u2019s not an official royal anymore, but William or Charles would be more than welcome. Actually, there aren\u2019t many situations in my life where I wouldn\u2019t want Prince Charles involved. I honestly can\u2019t think of any occasions where Prince Charles wouldn\u2019t enhance my enjoyment. Not Harry though, he\u2019s banned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although he did also admit that, while he is the host, the decision of who will be joining him from week to week is one that he does not get to make alone. \u201cYou can tell when people want to be on it, but I\u2019m just one voice. It\u2019s a big group of people who decide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Princes Charles and William may not be among them, we do know the latest celebrity <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/taskmaster-2021-line-up-contestants\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Taskmaster contestants for 2021<\/a> and it includes faces such as Desiree Burch, Alan Davies and Victoria Coren Mitchell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taskmaster series 12 airs on Thursday\u2019s at 9pm on Channel 4.
