Somehow 20 years have passed since The Apprentice first landed on our screens and BBC bosses are planning another celebrity series to celebrate the milestone anniversary.
It’s been six years since a celebrity edition of The Apprentice last aired and, over the years, everyone from Cheryl and Piers Morgan to Alan Carr and Amanda Holden have taken part.
It’s thought that the series airing later this year will feature some equally big names, with a TV insider revealing, ‘Execs want to get A-list stars involved for this very special version of The Apprentice.’
But just who is taking part and when does the show air? Here’s everything you need to know…
