Saira Khan is to present a new quiz show for children based around the world of business.
Beat the Boss will pit children against "adult business brains," according to BBC News Online. The prize is to go home in a limousine as opposed to taking the bus.
Khan previously came runner-up on the first UK series of hit reality TV show The Apprentice.
Reem Nouss, head of the news, factual and learning sections of CBBC, explained: "We know that kids have been interested and intrigued by formats like The Apprentice and Dragon's Den, so wanted to provide something tailor-made for them."
The show will air on BBC1 every weekday from May 22.
