No-nonsense self-made millionaire Sir Alan Sugar is set to test the business skills of ten top celebrity candidates from the world of media, sport, politics and comedy in a special Sport Relief Does The Apprentice that will be broadcast on Wednesday 12 and Friday 14 March on BBC One as part of the Sport Relief Weekend.

Viewers will have a chance to see the famous faces work their socks off over two gruelling days to raise as much cash as possible for Sport Relief, under the watchful eyes of Sir Alan’s trusty aides, Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford.

The celebrities are divided into two teams, the Girls and the Boys. Each team is given an empty identical adjoining West End store.

Their task is to come up with a name, and then to stock their shop with fabulous items that they think will make them the highest profit.

They then have to take to the shop floor where they have to convince the rich and famous to buy up their stock for the most money possible.

The Girls team of Clare Balding, Lisa Snowdon, Jacqueline Gold, Kirstie Allsopp and Louise Redknapp take on the Boys team of Phil Tufnell, Lembit Opik MP, Kelvin MacKenzie, Hardeep Singh Kohli and Nick Hancock.

If they fail, their celebrity status won’t save them from the wrath of Sir Alan, but either way a star-studded fight to the finish is guaranteed as they battle not to be the one to hear those fateful words: “You’re fired”.
