The celebrity names aren't all that inspiring tbh. No one stands out.
I'll take the fact that the line up is a bit underwhelming as a good sign it might last a bit longer and have a winner etc.
Its not a full series most of that list have done the reality rounds .
So the same format as Comic Relief Does the Apprentice where it's one task and one gets fired?
Wouldn't really say it's worth watching then.
Why? It's been years since they've done that format and all international versions get actual series.
It would be different if it was a bunch of A listers in the line up but IMO this is quite a c-list line up compared to the Comic Relief specials they used to do, nothing wrong with that but I'm hoping this indicates a full series as it seems to have a line-up full of names who would probably have more time to do one.

Not a bad line up but as you say why bring Thomas back as a celebrity?
The interesting part from your link is (and it is hard to avoid spoilers here) that both teams' biscuits will be available to purchase in the following retailers: Asda, Tesco, Boots, Debenhams, One Stop, Ocado Retail, Amazon Online, Amazon Fresh stores (London), Lola’s Cupcakes, Knoops, Haven Holidays, Wenzel's The Bakers and Greenhalgh’s bakeries.
There is no point in trying to hide that as they will be on sale before broadcast.
I can't stand him and his fake mockney persona, won't be watching. Shame as I enjoy The Apprentice.
But it is disappointing to see Thomas Skinner appearing. I never liked his 'cheeky chappy' persona when he first appeared. The fact it's latterly been shown that he's a right winger cosying up to JD Vance doesn't endear him either.
I'll tolerate him, but there's a multitude of other people who wouldn't have been so divisive.
Shame here, cannot bear that right wing moron.
Same question as why was he on Strictly? Hes not a celeb, even by recent Strictly standards! Why is he suddenly trying to create a 'z list celeb' career after all these years?
Do the BBC want to push right wing propaganda as you put it?
Oh heck, one is more than enough lol
He's already appeared on the normal Apprentice. Why has he been brought back for this? Surely SAS would have said no to his signing.
We don't have a date yet, but it will be before the end of the year.
For those who can't wait to see the biscuits the teams come up with, they're now available in Tesco, Asda, Boots and other retailers.
Here's the Tesco links, obviously this might count as spoilers if you don't want to know what they look like -
