ITV2's The Almost Impossible Game Show is due to return with Irish comedians Rubberbandits once again providing the commentary.

Six new episodes of this series will launch in  January, with a fresh batch of brave contestants pitting themselves against The Almost Impossible Game Show’s incredibly simple yet hilariously difficult games. 50 contestants took on the challenge in series one with just three succeeding. Will this new bunch of heroes fare any better?

Each episode sees ten contestants take on highly sophisticated challenges including the all new 'Candle Scream' in which they must put out a candle by yelling at it (pictured).

The Rubberbandits say: "The Almost Impossible Game Show is a probing exegesis of the human condition, which challenges traditional boundaries of societal interaction via the combined mediums of lycra and falling downing. We have no doubt that it will be shortlisted for a Turner Prize, as a BAFTA is not an appropriate mantle of endowment for this work of vital art."

Other featured games across the series include; 'Tiny Bike' which involves riding a miniature bike at speed along a very narrow beam, 'Groin Croissant' where contestants must shake plastic croissants off a Velcro bodysuit and 'Enter Trouser' - 25 seconds to attempt to put on a pair of trousers whilst sprinting on a treadmill.
