Alex Horne on revealing Taskmaster billboards

We've all had an embarrassing moment, but for Alex Horne it's a giant poster of him in his birthday suit in his home town.
It's the stuff nightmares are made of, waking up in a cold sweat thinking you'd left the house with no clothes on, but Alex Horne gets to see evidence of this where he lives.
He joined The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky this morning to talk about the new series of that starts tomorrow, and Chris started by asking how he was feeling.
Alex laughed: "Well, I felt alright until I heard you talking about the billboards, which I hadn't seen, but I listened to the show!"
He continued: "I was walking through the town where we live and on the bus stop near the dry cleaners, it's now just a massive picture of me with no clothes on."
Chris tried to console him by saying they probably did it to make him feel more confident, as they did with posters of Chris around the building when he started at Virgin Radio.
"It didn't make me feel confident!" laughs Alex. "It's awkward for me and my kids, but it is brilliant. You know, who wouldn't want that once in their life."
Talking of dry cleaners, there was a task for Taskmaster that didn't make it into the show.
Alex recalled: "One of them was to make this shirt as dirty as possible, but it ended up being just five dirty shirts. There wasn't quite enough variety" he exclaims,
He has an idea for another cleaning themed task: "I quite want one where you start with a tray full of Marmite and who can clean the best picture into it. I quite like seeing art in the back of vans, you know, when people doodle a picture on a dirty lorry. So yeah, that'd be there somewhere I'm sure."
The 10th series of Alex Horne’s brainchild, the BAFTA-winning Taskmaster, makes its Channel 4 debut tomorrow night at 9pm. Catch up on series 1-9 On All 4.
