Yahoo News Greg Davies' returning BBC series confirms guest stars with first look
Taskmaster star Greg Davies' comedy series The Cleaner has confirmed its guest cast for season three.
The BBC show was renewed for a third instalment earlier this year, with the broadcaster confirming the new episodes will follow crime scene cleaner Wicky (Greg) as he tackles the clean-up of a lighthouse in Northern Ireland, encounters a pregnant woman, reconnects with an old friend, and contends with his new domestic arrangement.
The Cleaner has featured famous guests throughout its past two seasons as Wicky frequently stumbles across bizarre characters during his clean ups, with previous episodes including appearances from Helena Bonham Carter, David Mitchell and Layton Williams.

This time around, the star-studded guest cast includes Steve Pemberton (Inside No 9), Sharon Rooney (Barbie), Ben Willbond (Ghosts), Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones), Chaneil Kular (Sex Education), Derek Griffiths (Unforgotten), Gemma Whelan (Killing Eve) and Paula Wilcox (Coronation Street).
"I am so delighted to be back wading around in blood. We have made sure that Wicky has some bizarre characters to deal with this series," Greg said.
"Looking forward to sweating in a crime suit and wearing the earring that my nieces find so cringe."

Jon Petrie, director of comedy for the BBC, said: "We couldn't be happier to introduce our fantastic cast for the upcoming season of The Cleaner. Greg and SHUK have done a terrific job finding some top comedy talent for Wicky to bounce off, figuratively speaking."
Broadcast details for The Cleaner season three will be announced in due course.
The Cleaner airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
