Apprentice star Margaret Mountford will be reunited with Nick Hewer on Channel 4's Countdown, it has been confirmed.
Hewer and Mountford became cult TV stars after working together for five years as Lord Alan Sugar's "eyes and ears" on The Apprentice.
However, Mountford departed the show after the fifth series to focus on her Ph.D studies at University College London.
The duo will be reunited on the daytime quiz this weekend, when Mountford films a number of episodes as a guest in Dictionary Corner. Hewer took over from Jeff Stelling as the host of Countdown earlier this year.
Writing about the news on Twitter, Hewer said: "Glad tidings! Margaret has agreed to join Susie Dent in Countdown's Dictionary Corner for a whole week. Soon. More later."
Co-presenter Rachel Riley added: "We're filming Countdown this weekend with Margaret Mountford. Hoping to get the insider gossip on Nick Hewer.... what would you ask?"
When asked by Digital Spy if he thought Lord Sugar would ever join him on Countdown, Hewer said: "I'll ask... but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one."
Countdown airs on weekday afternoons on Channel 4.
