Channel 4 Taskmaster fans issue same complaint as they fume over 'most disgusting' detail

Taskmaster fans issued the same complaint as they fumed over the "most disgusting" detail on Thursday (September 18).

The hit Channel 4 programme returned for its 20th season last week, with five new comics taking on more silly challenges set by Alex Horne and Greg Davies.

The latest cast includes Ania Magliano, Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Reece Shearsmith and Sanjeev Bhaskar.

• BBC fans left divided over Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark's latest TV series
• 'Dazzling' period drama hailed 'better than most modern films' is unmissable

Tonight's episode began with the five comedians bringing in an object that was the hardest to describe.

Maisie brought in the concept of being in the womb, which Greg struggled to comprehend, so she received five points for the prize task.

The contestants were then asked to identify five items from behind a screen, with the most correct items taking home the highest amount of points.

The Taskmaster didn't make it easy for them, though. Each comedian could only choose one sense to help them guess, with certain senses earning more points than others.

If they chose hearing, they'd get five points for every correct item, with smell earning four points and taste getting three points. Touch was worth two points, while sight was only worth one point per item.

Both Maisie and Reece chose to use their taste, with the pair awkwardly licking various items through the screen, including a stapler, a frozen sock, yoghurt and wet teeth.

After watching the challenge, the show's viewers quickly shared their frustration on social media, with many complaining about the "disgusting" nature of the task.

"Reece and Maisie licking wet human teeth in a bowl is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen on #Taskmaster - and that's saying something!" one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another added: "Just watched someone lick a bowl of human teeth. Ah yes taskmaster the silly game show," while a third said: "Gross."

A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "I was going to take it back but no... this is STILL the round they should have deleted," with another adding: "Omg this is so difficult to watch!"

A fifth viewer said: "My god watching Maisie and Reece doing that task was horrifying," while another commented: "That task was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen."

After receiving 22 points across all of the challenges, Reece won tonight's episode.

Taskmaster is available to stream on Channel 4
