Taskmaster, hosted by Alex Horne and Greg Davies, was recently renewed for a further six series over the next three years.

A new eight-part spin-off, Junior Taskmaster, is also in the works for children aged between 9 and 11.

Speaking about the spin-off, Horne said: “I’ve watched many, many comedians flounder when given simple instructions over the past few years and I fully expect the competitors in Junior Taskmaster to be both more competent and just as funny.

“For that series, I will be handing over my assistant’s clipboard to someone equally as efficient and persistent as myself because I have a lot more admin to do with six further handfuls of supposedly talented adults. I live for bureaucracy, so this is all excellent news.”
