A popular Strictly Come Dancing star has been revealed as a new presenter of The Apprentice’s spin-off show, Unfinished Business, after Tom Allen quit the role.
Angela Scanlon, who was partnered with Strictly’s Carlos Gu in 2023, is a BBC favourite who has also been rumoured to take over the presenting duties of Strictly, after Claudia Winkleman, 53, and Tess Daly, 56, left there presenting duties at the end of 2025.
The Apprentice’s spin-off show, Unfinished Business, has been running weekly for six years and follows after the main show. In a new statement from the show’s official Instagram page, Angela has been revealed as the new leader of the show.

Alongside a snap of Angela, the show penned: “Angela Scanlon has packed her briefcase and is ready for business – this time, to present The Apprentice: Unfinished Business! Alongside featuring industry experts and celebrity fans, The Apprentice: Unfinished Business will also see the first interviews with fired candidates each week, with Angela and the panel dissecting all the drama and behind-the-scenes intel. The Apprentice: Unfinished Business, coming soon to # iPlayer and #BBCSounds.”
Fans were thrilled to have the Strictly star fronting the show, as one person wrote: “Love this!! Yes pleaseeeee”, while another added: “You’re Hired! Welcome onboard.” A third wrote: “Omg amazing amazing”, while a fourth said they were ‘thrilled’ for Angela. Angela said in response to one fan: “YES!!! BBC Two straight after the main show xx”.
Former presenter Tom Allen decided to leave his position on the show after six years. Tom shared an emotional statement on Instagram this week and paid tribute to his co-stars.
He said: “I have decided, after six years, to say goodbye to The Apprentice: You’re Fired. I have had so much fun working with the most incredible creative people to make it all happen. I was also getting concerned Lord Sugar might realise I know nothing about business – as above video demonstrates”.
Tom added: “Thank you @lord_sugar, @karren_brady_official, @timcampbell_mbe for all their support and encouragement at every step. And also thank you to each @apprenticeuk candidate and guest panelist who joined me in the studio. Exciting things are coming up for the show, and as for me, I shall be embarking on new voyages very soon…”
Angela’s new role follows after fans were thrilled to see her step in as a presenter on This Morning in December, and even demanded that she be given a permanent role. The Irish TV star teamed up with Dermot O’Leary on Friday (December 19), stepping in as the latest celebrity to fill the void after Emma Willis was forced to withdraw due to illness. It marked Angela’s first time as a This Morning presenter.
“I like Angela, she is very mischievous, and I like that,” one viewer posted on X, formerly Twitter. Another fan declared: “Angela Scanlon is FANTASTIC hosting This Morning. Needs to be full-time.”
