Lord Sugar confirms role on two more series of 'The Apprentice'

Lord Alan Sugar has agreed to another two series of The Apprentice.

The former Amstrad boss announced on Twitter that he will front a ninth and tenth edition of the BBC reality show, before inviting his followers to apply for next year's series.

"I have agreed to do 2 more series of The Apprentice, making it 10 years," he wrote, adding a link to the show's online application process.

The Apprentice's eighth series concluded in June with recruitment manager and professional wrestler Ricky Martin becoming Lord Sugar's business partner and receiving a £250,000 investment.

Nick Holzherr, who finished third in the 2012 contest, went on to secure £170,000 of funding for the food and recipe website that he pitched on the show.

The Apprentice launched in 2005 on BBC Two, offering candidates the chance to land a £100,000-a-year job with Lord Sugar. It was promoted to BBC One for its third series in 2007.
