Celebrity Apprentice for Comic Relief left us on tenterhooks, waiting until Friday’s finale to see which team of famous names had organised the most successful ‘cabaret’ night
It thereby kept open the tantalising possibility that the Girls’ star performer, Robbie Williams, had raised less money than three naked men holding strategically placed balloons.
The first of the four acts in the Boys’ line-up was even worse than it sounds given one, um, member failed to grip his tightly enough (his balloon that is) - unfortunately for people sitting in the front row.

The damage to Robbie’s ego could be so crushing if this happens it wouldn’t be surprising if the poor soul retires or feels the need to become a recluse. (Losing to Simon Webbe would complete his humiliation after all).
In hindsight, perhaps Robbie should have just sung ‘Let Me Entertain You’ – rather than ‘Let Me Murder A Song From The Jungle Book’, or ‘I Wanna Be Like You’ as it’s usually called.
Appearing as the support act for Stavros Flatley (the perpetually barnstorming crowd-pleasers from Britain’s Got Talent) just proved beyond him.

Not good: Appearing as the support act for Stavros Flatley (the perpetually barnstorming crowd-pleasers from Britain’s Got Talent) just proved beyond him
Mind you, his wife Ayda saw it coming.
‘I’m worried Rob’s just going to be singing to someone in the corner who’s asleep!’ she had fretted.
If the Boys do win, it won’t matter that their efforts to counter Robbie’s appearance on the rival side by booking Cher, the Spice Girls, or the Rolling Stones somehow proved fruitless.

Louisa Johnson, Kodaline, Simon Webbe, and ‘three men waving their willies about (as Richard Arnold put it) were almost as good, and arguably not that different in the last case.
Admittedly, as episodes of The Apprentice go, asking the ten celebs to organise ‘a cabaret’/auction event didn’t exactly test their initiative, budgeting, and negotiating skills - almost as if the show didn’t rate their business acumen very highly.
Unsurprisingly it failed to produce the type of tantrums, fireworks, and moments of farce The Apprentice usually produces.
Pointless: If the Boys do win, it won’t matter that their efforts to counter Robbie’s appearance on the rival side by booking Cher, the Spice Girls, or the Rolling Stones somehow proved fruitless
Impressive: Louisa Johnson, Kodaline, Simon Webbe, and ‘three men waving their willies about (as Richard Arnold put it) were almost as good, and arguably not that different in the last case
It would’ve been brilliant if they had done one of the show’s more torturous tasks.
For instance if Lord Sugar had dispatched Amanda Holden, Rylan, Sam Allardyce, and co. to Luxemburg or somewhere to track down/barter for a list of items like the locals’ traditional musical instrument, football shirt, and favourite doughnut etc.
Still, the combination of The Apprentice and celebrities of this calibre could only be entertaining – and of course it was for a good cause.
You can make a donation below, as I have for being uncharitable.
These were the highlights from Celebrity Apprentice For Comic Relief part 1:
1. Amanda Holden’s outfit/entrance
Amanda was the only celebrity to capture The Apprentice candidates’ look to perfection, striding towards the boardroom with the pre-requisite tarty dress, high heels, and air stewardess’ wheelie suitcase.
2. Sam Allardyce’s entrance/outfit
‘Big Sam’s suit wasn’t nearly Santander enough for The Apprentice – when he finally bothered to turn up that is.
‘You’re late for the kick off son!’ Lord Sugar snapped. ‘Where you been?’
‘Cannes!’ the former England manager replied, pronouncing it ‘Cans’ - in Northern rather than French.
3. Lord Sugar’s barb at Rachel Johnson
‘Like your brother, I imagine you’ll also be desperate to be PM.’
4. Kelly Hopper’s Absolutely Fabulous approach to being Project Manager
‘I just think we want it to be fabulous and chic,’ PM Kelly Hopper briefed her team, adding the mantra: ‘Basically, think Saint-Laurent!’
Later, when Ayda Williams and Amanda Holden were messing around trying on jungle costumes, Hopper protested: ‘they’re really tacky!’ as if she had been physically and psychologically scarred for life. ‘This is destroying what I’ve got in my mind visually!’ she cried, before admonishing Tameka Empson: ‘That is not going to go on a Kelly Hopper room set!’
Comic Relief no longer came into it.
5. The obvious headliner for the Girls’ team
Amanda Holden immediately saw who their first choice should be to book for their cabaret.
‘Stavros Flatley! They get people up on their feet and will just start the party. So now we need one more act...’
Who could it be though...
6. Ayda Williams’ high-risk call to husband Robbie
‘Let’s see how he takes this...’ Ayda said, as if she would really risk him refusing to help Comic Relief on camera without having warned/rehearsed it first.
‘I have never leaned on Rob for anything like that before,’ she said afterwards. ‘I feel slightly guilty cos he couldn’t say No.’
Quite.
7. Ayda Williams’ lying for charity
‘So is Rob going to be there tomorrow night?’ Rylan asked Ayda.
‘No he will not be there. No, he can’t. He’s got to go to Munich,’ Ayda insisted when Rylan persisted. ‘But it’s fine. Don’t get cocky. I’m going to sort something else out.’
Perhaps a simple ‘No’ would have sufficed?
8. Rylan rumbling Ayda
Rylan clearly thought Ayda gilded the lily too.
‘So do we think she’s got Robbie?’ asked Richard Arnold, concerned.
‘I know she’s got Robbie!’ Rylan stressed. ‘I know her. I know Ayda. I know what she’s like!’
Like a liar?
9. Sadie Frost and Rachel Johnson’s less than ecstatic sales pitch for tickets to see Robbie Williams
‘Not only do we have Robbie Williams for you,’ Rachel Johnson told the staff in one office. ‘We have no less than Stavros Flatley!’
‘And the theme is safari!’ Sadie added, as if this was even better than both.
10. The officer worker who had no problem being filmed haggling to buy tickets for a Comic Relief fundraiser featuring Robbie Williams from £100 to £50
‘They wanted a few more details,’ Sadie Frost explained to a furious Kelly Hopper, trying to justify why she had folded and to sold some tickets half price. ‘They weren’t really impressed with our line-up!’ added Rachel Johnson, showing diplomacy runs in the family.
‘What do they want?!’ complained Ayda (Robbie Williams’ wife). ‘Do they want God to come down and serve them crudités?’
Maybe just Gary Barlow...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
