Alex Horne: The Giant Inflatable Duck
Alex Horne joins Dilly Carter with three suitably quirky items – his Taskmaster socks, a relic from Anfield Stadium and his “horn” trophy.
On this episode of Sort Your Life Out Unpacked, Taskmaster extraordinaire, ‘Little’ Alex Horne, shares his big dreams for his new home to be filled with noise, colour and chaos – but admits it’s currently overrun with builders and ladybirds.
Alex brings in three suitably quirky items from home for Dilly Carter to unpack – from socks he’s kept from each episode of Taskmaster (that is, if someone hasn’t already bought the worn ones…), to a relic from Anfield Stadium, and what he proudly calls “the horn of the Horne Section.”
From pockets turned inside out on his bedside table to a cherished Chesham pub he hopes to recreate inside his own home, Alex explains how his living space reflects “the funniest job in the world” – dreaming up ridiculous tasks for comedians to carry out. He also opens up about how he separates his role on Taskmaster from being a dad, while still taking inspiration from family life.
Dilly puts her football knowledge to the test and she’s left seriously impressed by Alex’s inventive upcycling of his many vacuum cleaners – but can she convince him to declutter his home before his children have to?
