This holiday season, prepare to be enchanted as “The Celebrity Apprentice” returns to BBC One and iPlayer with a very special two-part Christmas episode. Lord Sugar’s star-studded lineup of 12 celebrities embarks on a magnificent journey to the snowy landscapes of Lapland. Their mission? To create the perfect magical festive biscuit, with the proceeds benefiting BBC Children in Need.

According to BBC, a percentage of the profits will serve a noble cause, supporting the BBC Children in Need.

Heartwarming Moments and Community Support

In a touching segment of the special, the candidates will visit the Chickenshed Theatre Trust, a BBC Children in Need-funded project, to present their creations and receive feedback from the children. The initiative involves disabled children and those with additional needs, emphasizing the spirit of giving and community.
