Exclusive – Charlotte Ritchie reveals what surprised her the most about Taskmaster co-star Lee Mack
The Fresh Meat and Ghosts star spoke to RadioTimes.com ahead of her Taskmaster debut this week.
Taksmaster's Charlotte Ritchie has revealed which of her fellow contestants surprised her the most on the series, disclosing that Lee Mack is actually a "big fan" of the Channel 4 gameshow.
When asked whether she was surprised by any of her fellow Taskmaster contestants and their performance on the show, Ritchie told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview that she didn't realise just how much comedian Lee Mack loved the series.
"Lee Mack – I hadn't known just how big a fan he was of the show and how much it meant to him, like quite high stakes, so that was surprising to me that he was just strategic about it.
"It was a joy to watch because it was like this is real passion here," she added.
"I think also his kids are really big fans and he had quite a lot riding on whether he was like a good enough dad," she laughs. "I didn't have the same familial pressure which is a relief."
