Jonathan Ross to join 'The Apprentice'

Sir Alan Sugar has offered Jonathan Ross a role on next year's Comic Relief celebrity edition of The Apprentice.

Appearing as a guest on Ross's BBC One chatshow, Sugar said: "You're going to join us. I'll be nice to you."

Sugar also admitted he enjoyed firing Jenny Celerier on this week's show.

"Yes, that one had to go," Sugar said.

Last year's Comic Relief Does The Apprentice featured Cheryl Cole, Jo Brand, Piers Morgan and Ross Kemp. Although no winner was declared, Sugar later admitted that given the choice he would have hired Cole.
