Lord Sugar has announced that the new series of The Apprentice will kick off with a double bill.
The BBC One show, featuring Lord Sugar, Nick Hewer and Karren Brady, is back on our screens later this month.
A two-part opening to the series on October 14 and 15 will be followed by weekly instalments of the BBC One show.
The acerbic tycoon told his Twitter followers: "BREAKING:IT'S BACK! The Apprentice series 10 starts Tue 14 Oct episode1 & Wed 15 Oct episode2, then every Wednesday thereafter, 9pm @BBCOne."
A 10th anniversary special will be aired on October 13 in the run-up to the new series, featuring "classic moments and characters".
Previous winners of The Apprentice, which originally began life on BBC Two, have included Tim Campbell, Michelle Dewberry, Simon Ambrose, Lee McQueen, Ricky Martin and Leah Totton.
