Comics sign up for Celebrity Apprentice

Johnny Vegas and Alan Carr are to take part in next year’s Celebrity Apprentice show for Comic Relief.

They will join forces with Jonathan Ross to take on an all-female team for the show, due to be screened in March, the Sun reports.

Sir Alan Sugar is said to have persuaded Ross to take part in the charity special when he appeared on his BBC One chat show recently.

Gavin & Stacey duo James Corden and Ruth Jones have also signed up for next year’s Comic Relief, where they will present their own reworking of the Cinderella story.
