CHANNEL Nine is set to take a massive gamble by screening the Aussie version of Celebrity Apprentice five nights a week.

The show, which features Mark Bouris in the Donald Trump "Youre Fired" role, begins on October 24.

Nine is putting

Celebrity Apprentice Australia

into the 7pm slot currently occupied by repeats of The Big Bang Theory.

Nine will be hoping Celebrity Apprentice Australia can replicate the ratings of recent hit series The Block, which also screened five nights a week at 7pm.

Celebrities including politician Pauline Hanson, AFL legends Shane Crawford and Warwick Capper and Olympian Lisa Curry will fight it out for $100,000.

The prize money will go to the winning celebrity apprentices charity.

Other celebrities in the series include dance guru Jason Coleman, comedienne Julia Morris and singer Deni Hines.

Monday and Wednesday editions of Celebrity Apprentice will feature challenges. Tuesday and Thursday nights are boardroom "Youre Fired" episodes.

Fridays episode will feature behind-the-scenes footage from the show.
