For the first time ever, the Taskmaster's doors will be flung open to ring in the new year with a brand new, one-off special, 'Taskmaster's New Year Treat' on Channel 4.

Competing to win the coveted Taskmaster trophy are: acclaimed film actor John Hannah (Four Weddings and Funeral, Sliding Doors), journalist and leading news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy (Ways to Change the World, Channel 4), actress Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls, Channel 4), television and radio presenter Rylan Clark-Neal (This Morning, ITV, The Xtra Factor, ITV2), and three time ballroom champion and head judge Shirley Ballas (Strictly Come Dancing, BBC One). Our well-known contestants are experts in their respective fields, but how will they compare in the most hard fought, high stakes, ridiculous game show on television?
