Lord Sugar returns down under for brand new The Apprentice Australia

Whilst the latest series of The Apprentice reaches its exciting climax on Thursday 23 March, fans of the show can get their next fix of bust-ups and boardroom battles very soon as The Apprentice Australia returns to BBC Three and BBC iPlayer for a brand new series.

16 celebrities will be battling it out over the coming weeks to win money for their charities, avoid being fired, and ultimately end up crowned Australia’s Apprentice.

Lord Sugar will be joined by retail magnate Janine Allis and tycoon Nick Bell to judge the first challenge in Week One, tee-ing things off with a fundraising golf tournament. The celebrities are split into two teams, ‘Innovate’ and ‘Collaborate’, and we see the start of friendships and rivalries from the very start.
