AJ Odudu, host of ITV's Big Brother, reportedly signs up for the new series of The Celebrity Apprentice.

Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu has reportedly become the latest star to sign up for The Celebrity Apprentice.

The show is expected to make a comeback later this year - after an absence of six years - with Lord Sugar returning to set a series of business-themed tasks for 12 celebrities.

Names linked with the show so far include Good Morning Britain host Rob Rinder, ex-EastEnders actor Jake Wood, Paralympian Kadeena Cox, presenter Angela Scanlon, former The Apprentice candidate Thomas Skinner and JLS singer JB Gill, and now The Sun claims that Odudu has also signed up.

"AJ is one of TV's most in-demand stars so bosses are thrilled to have her onboard," a source said.

"She jumped at the chance to do it and is always up for new challenges. Plus she is a big fan of the show.

"She also has a strong competitive side, as viewers saw by how well she did on Strictly, so expect her to go far in the series."

The show is expected to air on BBC One over the Christmas period.
