Sarah Millican is among the contestants confirmed for the next series of Channel 4's hit gameshow Taskmaster. The Geordie comedian is in the line-up for the show's 14th series, fronted by Greg Davies.
The comedy programme sees five celebrities compete in a series of bizarre challenges presented to them by the Taskmaster and overseen by assistant Alex Horne. Sarah will join Dara O Briain, actor John Kearns, stand-up comic Fern Brady and digital creator Munya Chawawa to compete to be crowned Taskmaster champion.
Previous winners of the show include Ed Gamble, Kerry Godliman, Liza Tarbuck, Lou Sanders and Richard Herring. The five champions returned on Thursday evening for a one-off special.

Taskmaster Champion Of Champions saw the previous winners, from series six to 10, return for the ultimate battle. Bafta-winning Taskmaster was created by Horne, 43, and first aired on UKTV’s Dave before moving to Channel 4 in 2019.
After the move, the show achieved its best performance on record with its Channel 4 launch, reaching 3.9 million consolidated views. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Horne hosted #HomeTasking, which saw a series of tasks for the public to complete in their own homes – a selection of which were posted on the show’s YouTube channel and judged by Davies.
A date for the new series of Taskmaster is yet to be confirmed.
