The latest episode of Taskmaster has seen one of the star contestants reveal a hidden artistic talent that had nothing to do with comedy.
While it's not unusual for a task to prompt the stars to write and perform bizarre songs on the spot, it's not as common for Taskmaster Greg Davies to be genuinely impressed by any of it.
Rosie Ramsey managed the difficult feat with a barbecue-themed folk song performed for Alex Horne around a campfire in the episode's first task.
The challenge called on players to be the least annoying person around the fire.
They each had to either perform a song, tell a ghost story or recite a beat poem — all activities that are universally acknowledged as irritating for campers who just want to relax and enjoy the crackling fire sounds.

Rosie played a tambourine and sang about enjoying a sausage and halloumi dinner with "Little Alex Horne", washing it down with some "Pinot Grige" and telling all about her family's longtime barbecue tradition.
"Barbecuing is in my blood," she sang. "My dad is a barbecue stud… in my town."
Back in the studio, Greg admitted her execution was "pretty impressive".
"Because I've got a long history of being irritated when people show us they can sing," he explained. "But I didn’t find it irritating. All of us enjoyed it."
Needless to say, Rosie won the five points for the task as well as the praise of viewers at home.
Many reacted to the song on Twitter/X, with some even calling for Rosie's folk album to be released soon.

"Rosie Ramsey got a brilliant singing voice," one person wrote, while a second enthused: "Rosie Ramsey please please please release an album of country music and folk covers".
"rosie ramsey i was not familiar with your game," another viewer noted.
"oh rosie's voice is so pretty omg," was another comment, while someone else was ready for the album: "ROSIE HELLOOOOO?????? FOLK ALBUM WHEN".
Rosie's song helped her get to the top of the leaderboard for the episode, in a tie with Jason Mantzoukas. However, a hole-punching tie-breaker saw The Good Place star winning and becoming the solo champion for the night.
Taskmaster airs season 21 on Thursdays at 9pm on Channel 4, and streams on the Channel 4 website/app.
