What happens in Celebrity Apprentice?
This year the celebrities will be tasked with organising a cabaret event — cue miscommunication and backhanded remarks as the teams struggle to book refreshments, performers and desperately attempt to flog tickets — before Lord Sugar takes them to task in the boardroom during part two.
Is there a trailer for Celebrity Apprentice?
Yep, and it's a pretty tense one...
