The BBC has revealed the line-up for the first full-length series of The Celebrity Apprentice, with “12 well-known names taking on Lord Sugar’s ultimate business challenge” on BBC One.<\/p>\n
Taking part in the six-episode series are: singer and songwriter Alexandra Burke, actor Danny Miller, presenter Gethin Jones, dancer and presenter Jordan Banjo, and journalist Kay Burley.<\/p>\n
Actress and online personality Maddie Grace Jepson, presenter, podcaster, and content creator Max Balegde, Gladiator Sheli McCoy, UK garage star DJ Spoony, TV and BBC Radio 2 presenter Richie Anderson, comedian, writer, and actor Laura Smyth, and television personality Toni Laites complete the line-up.<\/p>\n
“Competing for the chance to win a \u00a3100,000 donation to a charity of their choice, they will each be hoping to prove their business acumen and ultimately be crowned The Celebrity Apprentice winner,” said the BBC.<\/p>\n
For the spin-off show, fans have been told “the boardroom will relocate to a London City skyscraper, providing a distinctive new setting for Lord Sugar’s final deliberations”.<\/p>\n
“We’ve not done anything like this before, and it’ll be entertaining to see these 12 celebrities being put through six weeks of some brilliant business challenges,” said the boss.<\/p>\n
“But just because they’re celebrities, it doesn’t mean they’re going to get an easy ride, especially when there’s \u00a3100,000 at stake for their chosen charity.”<\/p>\n
A start date for The Celebrity Apprentice has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
