Rivers: 'We’re not going to be BFFs'

Joan Rivers has revealed that she and Celebrity Apprentice rival Annie Duke will not be friends any time soon.

The comedienne won out over her competitor on Sunday, but the pair have been engaged in a war of words throughout the season of the US show, TV Guide reports.

Rivers said: "We're not going to be BFFs. It's a shame, because I think she's a brilliant poker player, but she plays life like poker and I don't. I play life like bingo."

The winner of this year’s quest to be Donald Trump’s apprentice expressed no regrets at having compared Duke to Hitler in an earlier episode.

She said: "Her harsh words were much harsher than mine. [She said], 'I wish you would die' or 'The cancer has left the room'. She also told somebody, Now I know why her husband committed suicide'."

Rivers will next be seen as the host on the TV Land series How’d You Get So Rich?, which airs this summer on the US cable network.
