Martin Lewis
Financial journalist Martin Lewis CBE is the founder of MoneySavingExpert.com and the presenter of The Martin Lewis Money Show and The Martin Lewis Podcast as well as a regular money correspondent on ITV magazine and daytime shows. Will he whip Greg’s investments portfolio into shape in exchange for extra points? Let’s wait to see.
David James
Former England goalkeeper turned pundit, presenter and charity fundraiser, David James MBE is one of the few Taskmaster contestants tall enough to almost be able to stand eye-to-eye with Greg Davies. He’s a regular face on celebrity formats, from Strictly Come Dancing (see above) to Pointless Celebrities, Celebrity Mastermind, Richard Osman’s House of Games, The Chase and many more.
Sue Johnston
Sue Johnston OBE is a famous face from Brookside, The Royle Family, Waking the Dead, Downton Abbey,and recently, Ben Wheatley’s Channel 4 zombie horror Generation Z. Surely the Taskmaster will show due deference to her national treasure status and just give Sue all the points right at the start?
Professor Hannah Fry
Mathematician, science communicator and TV presenter Prof. Hannah Fry is another familiar face who’s fronted multiple documentaries, given the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures and recently, presented BBC satirical news show Have I Got News For You? As with all of Taskmaster’s most educated contestants (Hugh Dennis, David Baddiel…), should we expect some extreme stupidity?
Taskmaster’s New Year’s Treat 2025 is expected to air in early January 2025 on Channel 4.
