Channel 4\u2019s Taskmaster is back for a New Year\u2019s special, and it\u2019s another Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> affair.<\/p>\n

The 2021 special saw Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas and It Takes Two host Rylan take part, and this year, Strictly host Claudia Winkleman will take on the Taskmaster house, along with former contestant and Paralympic sprint champion Jonnie Peacock, who was part of Strictly\u2019s class of 2017.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be joined by three other celebs, who they\u2019ll go head-to-head with in a series of challenges.<\/p>\n

The contestants will be hoping to impress Alex Horne and the Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies, who will be putting them to the test.<\/p>\n

So when is it on? And who are all the stars in the line-up?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything we know so far.<\/p>\n

The five contestants in the celebrity line-up has now been confirmed for the Taskmaster New Year\u2019s Treat.<\/p>\n

The New Year\u2019s Treat will see Claudia Winkleman and Paralympic sprint champion Jonnie Peacock taking on the Taskmaster House.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be joined by rapper Lady Leshurr, broadcaster Adrain Chiles and Cabinet minister Baroness Sayeeda Warsi.<\/p>\n

Sadly, as you can see in the image above, Jonnie was ill on the day of the studio recording so couldn\u2019t make it \u2013 but he was well represented by Taskmaster series 12 contestant Alan Davies.<\/p>

Is there a trailer for the Taskmaster\u2019s New Year Treat?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There isn\u2019t an official trailer for the New Year\u2019s Treat, but the show gave a glimpse at this year\u2019s line-up in a video on its Twitter page.<\/p>\n
