Davies and Horne have attended nuptials of their audiences with many believing that the two English comics may be a “real life couple” as the pair are huge hitss in the USA
Taskmaster hosts Greg Davies and Alex Horne have become such massive hits in the United States that fans are even inviting them to weddings.
Davies and Horne have attended nuptials of their audiences with many believing that the two English comics may even be a “real life couple.” Davies admitted: “You know what’s different about us is that most people who are in the public eye get crazy fan mail. We will attend the wedding.”
Horne agreed with him and said: “Yes we will and we will have a lovely time.” Horne added that Americans are very connected to the stars, and believe they may be a real life couple.
“We had four wedding invites last year. We get a lot of correspondence. We get letters from America.
“Someone invited us to Alaska to stay in their shipping container in which they live.
“They treat us as a couple genuinely.”
Horne confirmed that they did attend the New York wedding of fans Kristen and Daniel earlier this year.
The host added: “We got them a wedding gift.” The stars also find it hilarious that fans have created fan fiction essays about them being secretly together as boyfriends.
Father-of-three Horne laughed: “There is two new ones every day.”
Davies laughed that Horne writes his tasks for the show in the hot tub naked with a waterproof note pad.
“Alex told me it is the only time in life he is fully naked. And he is a father of three?”
Davies refuses to consider fan ideas and anyone propositioning him will be treated with physical retribution.
“It is not full physical assault. Anyone that comes and says I have great ideas, I hold them and put them on the floor and word gets out. We have got our task goblin and he is in his hot tub.”
The Daily Star recently reported that the stars have been the subjects of dirty fan fiction.
Greg, 56, finds them hilarious, saying: “It is some of the hottest things I’ve ever been involved in.
“The thing I love about the fan fiction — and I read it all the time to him — is that he’s so uncomfortable with physical contact.”
Greg said he had been through 800 of the dirty stories online. One tale includes the lines: “‘Was it everything you dreamed of?’ Greg whispered into Alex’s ear.
