Celebrity Apprentice 2025 lineup: Who is on the show? Celebs include AJ Odudu and return of Thomas Skinner
The lineup for The Celebrity Apprentice 2025 has been revealed by the BBC.
A spin-off version of the popular BBC business competition show was confirmed by the BBC last month, with celebrities set to undergo a Christmas-themed biscuit challenge that will see the group visit Lapland as they attempt to be crown the series winners.
The Children In Need special marks the first time that stars have undertaken Lord Alan Sugar’s business challenge since the final series of Comic Relief Does The Apprentice in 2019. Tim Campbell will miss out on the festivities, with Mike Soutar and Baroness Karren Brady joining Lord Sugar for the two-part special.
The celebrity teams will both be tasked with creating a festive biscuit, which will go on sale in UK shops. IN true Apprentice tradition, teams will be tasked with creating, developing and eventually pitching their biscuit idea to retailers.
