Taskmaster Champion of Champions 2: who are contestants on Channel 4 special episode - and when is it on TV?

Season 13 of Taskmaster came to an end last week with comedian Sophie Duker narrowly beating presenter Chris Ramsey to be crowned Taskmaster champion.

And while we will be in for quite a wait until season 14 comes to our screens, another fix of Taskmaster is on its way - Champion of Champions 2.

The first Champion of Champions was a two-episode series which featured the winners of the first five seasons of Taskmaster, Josh Widdicombe, Katherine Ryan, Rob Beckett, Noel Fielding and Bob Mortimer.

The series aired in 2017 and saw Josh Widdicombe win the day, becoming the first ever Taskmaster Champion of Champions.

What will happen in Champion of Champions 2?

Specific tasks have not been revealed, but this being Taskmaster it’s fair to assume that the first task will involve bringing in an item that meets a criteria set by little Alex Horne.

The winner of the episode will then get to take home all of the items, plus the title of Champion of Champions.

Previous item categories have included the most confusing thing, the creepiest thing, and the most embarrassing item.

Channel 4 has also teased some of the action we can expect to see in the special. This includes contestants destroying a bath rub, rolling a bobbin, avoiding low-flying bananas, and painting on skates.
