The annual bunfight to win Greg Davies's coveted Golden Eyebrows trophy returns with a brand-new cast of courageous cookies all keen to impress. As a New Year dawns, the supreme Taskmaster and his doting assistant Little Alex Horne welcome five famous faces from all corners of the entertainment world to step up and face a set of ludicrous challenges in the latest instalment of the one-off special, ‘Taskmaster’s New Year Treat’ which airs at 9pm, Tuesday 2nd January on Channel 4. 

Entrepreneur and star of Dragon’s Den Deborah Meaden, Mercury Prize and MOBO Award nominated music artist Kojey Radical, BAFTA winning actor Lenny Rush, TV presenter, adventurer, author and wildlife expert Steve Backshall, and radio and television presenter Zoe Ball are the fearless five who signed up to scoff poppadoms and show off their timing skills with cat feeders and cuckoo clocks. Each one of them are vying for points and scrapping for the Taskmaster’s fleeting praise while avoiding acerbic judgement in a bid claim bragging rights to call themselves a Taskmaster’s New Year Treat Champion.
