Piers Morgan, a renowned broadcaster, has set his sights on hosting the 'Celebrity Apprentice'. The makers of the BBC reality show are gearing up to launch a celebrity spin-off to commemorate the program's 20th anniversary. Morgan, who was once fired by Lord Sugar during his participation in the show in 2007, has made it clear that he will only return if he holds the top position in the boardroom and Lord Sugar is one of the candidates. Having won the US version of the show during Donald Trump's tenure, Morgan is quoted by The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column as saying, "Having won the American 'Celebrity Apprentice' and being chosen as the winner by the President of the United States [Donald Trump], I'd only come back if I was the host, and Lord Sugar was one of my apprentices."

Dynamic on Social Media

It is reported that show executives are eager to have stars like Piers Morgan and Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy participate in the show. The long-standing standoff between Morgan and Lord Sugar on social media makes their potential appearance on the show highly anticipated. As the source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper, "Execs want to get A-list stars involved for this very special version of 'The Apprentice', and signing up Piers, in particular, would be TV gold as there's a long-running standoff between him and Lord Sugar. Few celebrities have been approached yet as the show is still at the early stages and they want to take their time carefully selecting the right mix for the programme."

Previous Appearances and Relevance

Piers Morgan's victory in the US version of the show during Donald Trump's time as host adds an interesting dimension to his desire to host the British spin-off. This past success and his connection to a prominent figure like Trump make him a prominent candidate. The show's previous airing in 2019 to raise funds for Comic Relief with stars like Rylan Clark and Amanda Holden also showcases its popularity and potential for raising funds and creating engaging television. The idea of bringing together these A-list stars and the potential for drama between them makes the 'Celebrity Apprentice' spin-off a highly anticipated event.
