Jack Dee has been named as the new presenter of The Apprentice’s spin-off show You’re Fired, replacing previous host Dara O’Briain.
The 53-year-old funnyman will take over when the series returns later this autumn, after O’Briain – who hosted the show for five years – announced his departure.
‘I’m very much looking forward to hosting You’re Fired and hope that the luckless candidates will see me as the friendly face at the end of a difficult time in their lives,’ Dee said.
He will also be joined by comedian Romesh Ranganathan, who will become a series regular after previously appearing as a guest on the celebrity panel.
