It's been a massive 10 years since the very first celebrity edition of The Apprentice hit our TV screens, but now it's back for a Comic Relief special and the line-up is HUGE.

As usual, Lord Alan Sugar will welcome 10 famous faces into the boardroom, with Baroness Karren Brady and Claude Littner also returning for the celebrity special to keep the contestants in check and spy on them for Lord Sugar. In all honesty, Karren and Claude's take-down of the contestants on the regular version is one of the best bits.

As 10 new celebrities take on the challenges for charity, here's who we can expect to see on our screens at 9pm on BBC One tonight and tomorrow (Friday 8th March)...

After a number of successful series of The Apprentice, Celebrity Apprentice first hit our TV screens in 2007, featuring the likes of Cheryl Tweedy, Piers Morgan and Jo Brand. The show returned in both 2008 and 2009, but it wasn't renewed for a further series.

Now, a decade on, it's returning in aid of Comic Relief and we can't wait to see how they get on!

Celebrity Apprentice starts tonight (Thursday 7th March) on BBC One at 9pm, and concludes tomorrow (Friday 8th March) at the same time.
