The Apprentice winner Mark Wright has claimed that former victors of the BBC business series are in talks to take part in an All-Star edition of the show.



Speaking to Digital Spy, the Climb Online entrepreneur explained that he would love to go back to the series "in some capacity".

"I shouldn't say this, but there is talk of all of the winners going back and having a best Apprentice of all the people that have won, because there's now going to be 11 there [after this series]," he said.

"So you've almost got a full complement of people who have won the show over the past 11 years that could make another series and you'd have all of these people from all walks of life and skill sets.

"We joke amongst us - obviously I tell them that I would win easily. It would be interesting to see that, I think."

Wright added: "But I would love to go back in some capacity, whether that's as an assistant to Lord Sugar or as an interviewer like Ricky [Martin] or to use my business on a task, to come in and do something creative."

It's not clear how happy all of the Apprentice winners would be to come back to the show, given that some of them have strained relationships with Lord Sugar. Series six winner Stella English even sued for wrongful dismissal, but lost the case.

And a source told Digital Spy: "We're not sure where this has come from. At the moment, the team is focusing on the new series."

Wright also revealed that his business has been going "sensationally" since he won The Apprentice last year, revealing: "We are the first Apprentice business ever to do £1m turnover in the first year, which is staggering.

"So we're looking to do £1.5m in our first year. We've got 20 staff, two offices, and we're working with some very big customers, so it's good, it's very, very good. It's changed my life, really."

Digital Spy has reached out to The Apprentice for comment.

(they need to not just restrict it to winners though)

[JoshBB]

Put messy Sarah back in

Katie Hopkins & Luisa for the dramz would be good too.

[Daniel-X]

Winners will be boring they need Luisa and Susan Ma back

[Lostie!]

I don't want an all-winners series but I'm here for all-stars.

A series of the eccentric / oddball contestants would be amazing.

Guess I'll have to catch up on Series 1-7 before next year then (skipping S8 since I've heard it's BB16 levels of awfulness)

[LukeB]

Joanna and Luisa better be on it

[LukeB]

1.Joanna Riley
2.Luisa Zissman
3.Stella English
4.Leah Totton
5.Tom Gearing

[Headie]

I'm conflicted. She acknowledged my existence but not in the way I wanted her to respond </3

[Shaun]

Considering half of the winners have taken sugar to court I very much doubt it'll be a winners - only event like Mark implies in the interview.

I don't really buy it tbh. It's just Mark saying it. I also really don't think it would be that interesting!

Series 8 isn't that bad. I certainly wouldn't compare it to BB16!

How was she awful?

She seemed quite irritable and just generally not that pleasant. Examples are her remark to Sarah in the Week 4 boardroom, her remark to Lauren in the Week 7 boardroom, and how angry she got with Daniel in Week 8. I dunno, there was just something about her that didn't sit right with me.
