Piers Morgan to compete in Trump's 'Apprentice'

Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan is to appear as a contestant on a celebrity version of Donald Trump's The Apprentice.

The former tabloid editor - known in the US for being a judge on the American version of Got Talent - is one of fourteen celebrities who will face 'The Donald' and compete for a charity prize fund of $250,000 (£120,000). His contenders include former boxing heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis, Kiss frontman Gene Simmons and Tiffany Fallon, Playboy's Playmate of the Year for 2005.

Morgan previously appeared in a celebrity edition of The Apprentice in the UK, where he was fired by Sir Alan Sugar for his "demeanour".
