Michelle Mone has revealed that she was terrified about the prospect of taking part in this years Celebrity Apprentice.

The founder of Ultimo Lingerie says she was most worried about working with big personalities like Ruby Wax and Patsy Palmer.

Speaking to Take 5 magazine, Mone confirmed: “[It was] incredibly nerve-wracking. I was working with four huge TV stars – Carol Vorderman, Fiona Phillips, Ruby Wax and Patsy Palmer – and I was terrified of how we’d all get along.

“On the real Apprentice, contestants are all in the same boat with nothing to lose. With the celebs, their careers are at stake and everyone knows everything about each other.”

“I was worried about working with Ruby Wax as she’s such a big personality,” she explained. “I thought we’d clash but she’s the kindest, sweetest woman and I really warmed to her.”

Comic Relief Does The Apprentice airs on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.
