The next series of Dave's Taskmaster has reeled in some new celebrity recruits to go up against host Greg Davies and his stats-keeping sidekick Alex Horne.

Set to risk their dignity (and limbs) in the hope of making Taskmaster Greg proud, we have The Inbetweeners man Joe Thomas, BAFTA-winning comedian and Love Island narrator Iain Stirling, stand-up Lou Sanders, champion quizzer on The Chase, Paul Sinha, and star of Peter Kay's Car Share, Sian Gibson.

Simon Cooper and Mr Gilbert reunion, anyone?

This eclectic cast has joined a show that's certainly on the up in terms of awards recognition, as Taskmaster was crowned Best Entertainment Programme at last year's Broadcast Awards - beating the likes of The Voice UK, Love Island, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Strictly Come Dancing.

It's also nabbed nominations at the BAFTAs, International Emmys and the Broadcasting Press Guild.

Meanwhile, Taskmaster newbie Sian has previously confirmed that no more episodes of Car Share will be filmed.

Appearing on Sunday Brunch back in December, she pleaded: "No, there really isn’t this time… Oh... no, no there isn’t.

"No, it was the last one – but I just feel like I'm lying, because I was lying last time when I said it was the last one, so now I just look like a liar. But it was."

Convinced? We're not so sure.

Taskmaster will return on Dave in May.
