Photo of a task brief with a wax seal featuring a question mark, rather than the usual 'TM', laid on a wooden surface (a reference to the 'Find the secret task' task), with the episode title, 'Never packed a boot', superimposed on it.

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the best drum-roll-worthy item, find the secret task, complete the fortune trail, convince a child that they are sleeping, and mime proverbs to their teams.

Title context

Lucy Beaumont mentions that she’s also “never packed a boot”, after explaining to Greg during the ‘Complete the fortune trail’ task that the reason she is so bad at coin-flipping is because there has always been a man around to do it.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who once hospitalised himself doing high kicks to ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears. It’s Little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Tonight, everyone’s talking about the winner – it’s Susan Wokoma!
