Whilst Sue bought in a photo of her late mother with Sir Paul McCartney and Melanie her MasterChef apron, Martin chose a very special item.

‘I love games, that’s one of the reasons I’m here. and I was on what I thought up until now was one of the best game shows on television, House Of Cards,’ he explained.
‘I bought in one of the prizes which is the House Of Games Richard Osman face deckchair – there we go,’ he told a flabberghasted Greg.
‘Do you ever go into theatres and shout out Macbeth as well?’ the Taskmaster joked.
‘I’m aware I am risking this prize so I am putting it up in return for hopefully getting a better prize which would be winning Taskmaster,’ explained Martin.
Alex Horne, who is also the creator of the show, jumped in though to point out the ‘small print.’
‘There is also a slight small print issue with this if that if you win a BBC quiz show, you’re not allowed to give that prize away… it’s illegal.’
But fans were left shocked when Martin ‘outnerded’ Alex. ‘Because I give away prizes in a charity auction, I had written permission to do it in advance.
‘Because I read the terms and conditions,’ a triumphant Alex declared.
