Founder of Ultimo lingerie, Michelle Mone has confirmed that she will appear on this years Comic Relief celebrity edition of The Apprentice.

She said: “Going over to the other side of the boardroom was a real challenge. It was such hard work, we really didn’t stop at all and only got two to three hours sleep a night – it was just go, go, go from start to finish. As it was the celebrity version I honestly thought we’d be in for an easy ride, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.”

Gok Wan will also take part along with six other contestants who will be split into two teams.
