It feels like we have only just wrapped up Celebrity Apprentice 2021, but Channel Nine has shared the A-list names for their 2022 season.
Considering how stellar the cast was last year, we have a lot to look forward to for this season.
After all, Nine managed to cast The Veronicas, Married at First Sight’s Martha Kalifatidis, fashion designer Camilla Franks, celebrity trainer Michelle Bridges, comedian Ross Noble, and Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa in 2021.
Of course, The Block’s Shaynna Blaze, won the season and has called the 2022 casting decisions “fantastic.”
The celebrity interior designer took home the crown after successfully raising $426,000 for her charity, Voice For Change, a record-breaking amount for the show (no pressure 2022 contestants).
When Lord Alan Sugar found out about her incredible feat, he admitted, “That’s a good kickstart for a charity.”
Well, with such rave reviews from Shaynna, let’s suss the iconic names who will be giving the show their best shot.
