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...
