Good Morning Britain presenter Rob Rinder and former EastEnders star Jake Wood are reportedly in line to appear in a revived version of The Celebrity Apprentice.
The spinoff, which sees famous faces take on tasks set by Lord Sugar, has previously aired for charities Comic Relief and Sport Relief in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2019.
The show is expected to make a comeback later this year to mark 20 years of The Apprentice in the UK, and according to The Sun, Rinder and Wood are the first two celebs to join the lineup.
A source said: "Rob Rinder and Jake Wood have both signed up for the new series of The Apprentice.
"The bosses are so happy to have secured them both, as they are really big names for the cast and each have a strong fan following.
"Jake in particular is really competitive, so he will definitely want to win!"
The new series is due to air on BBC One towards the end of the year, potentially in aid of Children in Need, which holds its annual telethon in November.
