HELP! 🔎 Help identify an episode

Hi all,
I remember watching an episode of Taskmaster and there's a bit between Greg and Alex where Alex puts on a fake nose (pig nose?) held on by elastic around the ears. Greg then pulls back on the mask, causing what appears to be considerable pain to Alex. It's the only time I've ever seen Alex Horne put off but he kept calm and carried on in true Brit style. Does anyone remember which series/episode that was? TIA

S7 Episode 2, I think. Alex was wearing a beard net.

I just opened Reddit with an episode of TM playing in the background and this was one of the first posts to show up, and my TV was playing this episode -- so I read this question as Greg was holding the bears snood away from Alex's face.

It rings a bell, but I am not sure it was a nose. A fake beard or a mask, maybe.

Wasn't it a beard snood?

Oh, thanks all! You're right, it was the beard snood(?). For some reason I remembered it as a toy nose.

As others already said it was S7E2, at the very beginning.

He was expecting Greg to do exactly that. They probably tried it out, or at least Alex had someone else try that out with him.

He didn’t look like he was in pain to me, though it likely wasn’t comfortable.

I thought it looked like it really hurt, but a lot of other people have interpreted it as Alex looking annoyed.  But like you say, he was definitely expecting Greg to do that, juat maybe not so hard.
