Shaynna Blaze responds to outcry for new Celebrity Apprentice boss

Shaynna Blaze is the winner of Celebrity Apprentice 2021.

The interior design queen managed to raise a record breaking $470,000 for her chosen charity, Voice of Change.

The star has responded to calls for the Celebrity Apprentice boss Lord Alan Sugar to be replaced.

Sugar joined the Australian franchise as the host for the first time this season, after leading The Apprentice in the UK since 2005.

Businesswomen Janine Allis and Lorna Jane Clarkson joined the show as advisors for Lord Sugar.

Fans have now suggested that Boost founder Janine would be a much better boss.

“Why not just make Janine the boss from the start?” one Twitter user asked.

“She would have killed it. An Aussie crew needs an Aussie boss purely to be relatable. Hope it improves.”

Janine has assured fans that “Sugar is super experienced” and she still has “lots to learn”.

Now Shaynna has weighed in on the demand in favour of Janine.

“I think she'd be incredible,” she admitted to Yahoo News.

"She is a boss lady, she's firm, she’s fair, she called bullshit to me. I think she’d be incredible and she’d nail it.”

Shaynna recently slammed Lord Sugar after he commented on radio that she has a “face like a slapped arse”.

In the Celebrity Apprentice finale, Shaynna revealed that her charity, Voice of Change, meant a lot to her as she had personally experienced domestic violence.

“I felt like I didn’t need to talk about it until it was time to talk about it,” she says.

“Once I got to the finale I went, okay, people need to see why I'm so passionate about this, and I want people to know that you can actually move forward and have a great future, but you've got to make change and have change around you with good people to make that happen.”

In the final episode, Shaynna called upon eliminated contestant Martha Kalifatidis for her help.

Shaynna confessed that Martha was the contestant she was most surprised about when filming the show.

“I had a preconceived idea,” she revealed.

“She's forceful and she's out there but she's also very smart and very funny.”
