Celebrity Apprentice winner announcement watched by 733,000 metro viewers
Nine’s Celebrity Apprentice Australia has wrapped for 2021, with an average of 733,000 metro viewers watching the winner announcement after 614,000 tuned in for the finale episode, with The Block’s Shaynna Blaze defeating comedian Ross Noble.
The winner announcement was the #1 entertainment program on Tuesday night, but the preceding episode fell behind other programs including Seven’s Home And Away, and Big Brother among non-news.
The series was the first time Celebrity Apprentice Australia has aired since 2015, and the first time with consumer electronics founder Lord Alan Sugar as CEO instead of founder and chairman of Wizard Home Loans, Mark Bouris.
In 2015, the finale episode brought in an average of 638,000 metro viewers, notably without OzTam breaking out the ‘Winner Announcement’.
