The upcoming reboot of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is reportedly set to feature singer Alexandra Burke, dancer Jordan Banjo, and journalist Kay Burley among its contestants. This news follows closely on the heels of the announcement that Danny Miller, known for his role in 'Emmerdale', is also joining the fundraising BBC One series.
The program, slated for broadcast later this year, will see these personalities facing off under the guidance of Lord Sugar. This iteration marks the first time the 'Celebrity Apprentice' series will be broadcast in its entirety.
Burke, a 'X Factor' winner, and Banjo, a member of the dance troupe Diversity, are said to be part of an "all-star line-up". Burley, a prominent broadcaster, joins them in this reported casting.
Background Chatter and Departures
The reported enlistment of Burke, Banjo, and Burley comes after other television announcements. Notably, Kay Burley's departure from Sky News in February after 36 years was followed by speculation about her next move. By August 2025, it was confirmed that Sophy Ridge and Wilfred Frost would be taking over her breakfast show slot. Burley herself had stated on her departure from Sky News, "You only live once, so time to do something different now."
In unrelated television news, 'Celebrity Gogglebox' also announced its cast for a new series in June 2025. There have also been reports in July 2025 regarding Alexandra Burke's stance on a potential 'X Factor' reboot.
