Taskmaster Season 12 has a fab new set of celebrities ready to take on a fresh round of surreal challenges. This BAFTA winning and International Emmy nominated comedy game show has been entertaining fans for years, and the latest season will see the return of the all-powerful “Taskmaster” that is comedian Greg Davies.

With a 12th Season set to hit our screens very soon, here's what we know about it so far...

Who won Taskmaster Season 11?

Do we know anything about the tasks for this season?

Sarah Kendall was crowned the winner of Taskmaster Season 11, with the Australian comedian beating Charlotte Ritchie, Lee Mack, Mike Wozniak, and Jamali Maddix to win the coveted trophy.

No, the silly tasks have been kept under wraps so we'll have to tune in to find out what Taskmaster puts our new group of comedians through. But there's been all sorts of challenges such as makeovers, eating deep fried kiwis and hammer throwing, so you never really know what's going to happen!

Is there a trailer?

Yes! The official Taskmaster Season 12 trailer has been released, where we see our new team of celebrity contestants taking on all sorts of challenges such as sitting on cakes, popping balloons and riding bikes, but the clips are short enough to not fully give away what will happen. We can't wait...
