CELEBRITY APPRENTICE 'SET TO RETURN' IN 2025 TO MARK SHOW'S 20th ANNIVERSARY ON BBC

The celebrity edition of The Apprentice is set to return to BBC One in late 2025 to mark the 20th anniversary of the hit format, fronted by Lord Alan Sugar.



A source told The Sun newspaper: "Execs want to get a-list stars involved for this very special version of The Apprentice... Few celebrities have been approached yet as the show is still at the early stages and they want to take their time carefully selecting the right mix for the programme." The BBC declined to comment when approached.



Meanwhile, the nineteenth series will air on BBC One early next year where 18 brand new candidates are set to battle it out for the opportunity of a lifetime and win Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment and mentorship. With mixed teams from the offset, it’s win or luge as our candidates hit the slopes, kicking off the series in the Austrian Alps tasked with selling tour packages.


For the candidates who survive the first boardroom with Lord Sugar, an array of challenging tasks lie ahead.



Across the series they will be creating a virtual popstar, turning a ton of potatoes and tomatoes into cash, designing and marketing Easter Eggs, jetting off to Turkey for a corporate hospitality challenge and taking on the classic discount buying task in historic Stratford-upon-Avon. And not forgetting Interviews Week, when the final five will face the grilling of a lifetime from some of Lord Sugar’s trusted business associates.


With 18 determined entrepreneurs battling it out for Lord Sugar’s investment and guidance, The Apprentice remains one of the toughest business competitions around. For the candidates this is a make-or-break moment, where winning the process could change their lives and catapult their business to the next level, but one wrong move and those dreams will come crashing down in the boardroom.



With the stakes so high, there is nowhere for the ambitious cohort to hide as they draw on all their business expertise to be the best of the best and win The Apprentice 2025.



Comedian, writer, and actor Tom Allen will return as host of The Apprentice: You’re Fired, which will air each week on BBC Two and iPlayer, straight after the main show. Casting a wry eye over each week’s events, Tom will be joined by a host of celebrity fans and business professionals to dissect and debate the candidates' progress through each task.



The Apprentice will return to our screens for series 19 in 2025.
