Australia's Nine Network will start filming the Aussie version of hit reality show The Apprentice this Friday.
The corporate competition, which will feature 12 contestants battling it out in the world of business, will be fronted by Sydney financier Mark Bouris.
A television insider told The Daily Telegraph: "Mark won't just be in the boardroom segment, there is much more significant involvement from him. He's the boss and the winner receives a six-figure salary and works for him at his Yellow Brick Road company. He wants to know them all inside out."
The programme is being made by production company Fremantle, who recently had great success with MasterChef Australia.
