Hopefully Alex will agree that all of the following celebrities are A-Listers, and at least some of them are worth 10 points!
We've got;-

- Chef Glynn Purnell (Michelin Star Chef and TV Presenter)
- Steve Brown (Countryfile presenter and Captain of the Great Britain wheelchair rugby squad)
- Ellie Harrison (Countryfile presenter)
- Lindsey Santoro (Comedian, and if you don't know Lindsey yet, I think you will soon. She's great!)
- Johnny Vegas (Comedian, who told us he would love to do Taskmaster!)
- Lou Sanders (Previous TM Contestant; 10 points in the bag!)
- Joe Lycett (Straight 10 points again!)
- Santa Claus (Specifically, THE Santa Claus from The Old Joint Stock Theatre's production of Miracle on 34th Street)
