THE Apprentice advisers Karren Brady and Tim Campbell have revealed the surprise star they are desperate to sign up for the upcoming celebrity version of the show.
The Sun were the first to reveal that the celeb-version of the BBC business show would be making a comeback for the programme’s 20th anniversary.
Bosses are understood to be aiming sky-high to secure A-list names after past contestants included Karren herself as well as Piers Morgan and Cheryl, in her only ever reality TV appearance as a contestant since finding fame.
But there is one name – bigger than the rest – that both Karren and Tim would love to sign up to the BBC programme.
In a surprise admission, the pair confessed it is President Donald Trump then want to see in the boardroom but as a contestant.
Trump famously hosted the US version of the programme and walked in Lord Alan Sugar‘s shoes for the show before taking up office in the White House.
But could the Beeb manage to tempt Trump to the other side of the boardroom table?
Speaking to The Sun, when asked who she would want on the cast, without hesitation, Karren said: “Donald Trump! Donald Trump!”
Her admission prompted an outburst of laughter from Tim as he said: “That would be hilarious!”
Karren then revealed she would love to see Sugar get the chance to fire Trump on the programme.
The business mogul said: “It would just be to give Lord Sugar the chance to fire him.
Tim then quipped: “Talk about a viral moment, that would be it, that would be it.”
