Give us some Sugar. The businessman is back and has just wrapped filming on the 16th series set to air next year.
The Lord's spokesperson told MailOnline: "Lord Sugar would be prepared to make it 20 years of The Apprentice!
"Series 16 will be broadcast early in 2022. Lord Sugar is waiting to hear from the BBC about more series.
"It is the BBC’s decision, however, Lord Sugar would be prepared to make it 20 years of The Apprentice."
A TV source told The Sun: “BBC bosses like what they’ve seen on the upcoming series and want two more.
“The Apprentice was a big miss in the schedules last year, which they think will be reflected in the ratings.

"So they want to strike while the iron’s hot and tie Lord Sugar down for two more series in quick succession, which they hope will have more of an international feel now lockdown restrictions are gradually lifting.”
The businessman has recently been in Oz filming the sixth series of Celebrity Apprentice.
Speaking in May, he explained: “I said last year that I wanted to do 20 years. We would have been doing series 16 this year and I was happy to do four more.
“But of course, it is the BBC who will decide if they wish to do it.

“I fully understand they are in charge but if they wanted to do it, I think 20 years is a nice round figure.”
As is his pay packet.
