Emmerdale<\/a> star Danny Miller has opened up about the “guilt” he feels, after recently joining the line-up of The Celebrity Apprentice<\/a>. The upcoming series will see 12 famous faces completing various business tasks set by Lord Sugar, in order to win money for their chosen charity.<\/p>\n

While there have been one-off celebrity specials of The Apprentice in the past, this year marks the first ever full-length series. The six-part event will be filmed across three weeks, during which time, the contestants will be unable to contact their loved ones. <\/p>\n

On his podcast You Don’t Know You’re Born<\/a>, Miller (who plays Emmerdale’s Aaron Dingle<\/a>), addressed the news, and explained his apprehensions about the notoriously grueling process. <\/p>\n

“I am now happy to share a little bit of news with you… I’ve signed up to do a show, a reality show. I’m going to be doing the first ever full series of [The Celebrity Apprentice],” he told co-hosts Brooke Vincent<\/a> and Nigel ‘Wingman’ Clucas. <\/p>\n

“It ties in with the fact that it’s gonna be three weeks filming, if you make it all the way. It’s an immersive experience, so phones are going.” <\/p>\n

“It’s a bit like the jungle, without the critters,” Vincent said, referencing Miller’s time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here<\/a>, which he won back in 2021. <\/p>\n

While the finalists will, of course, take part in all three weeks of the series, Miller explained that even the eliminated contestants will be filming for “a week at least”, and will have no contact with their loved ones “other than the producers saying, ‘they’re okay, it’s fine. It’s all good.'”<\/p>\n

“It genuinely is really quite painful,” he said about not seeing his family during that time. <\/p>\n

The star was comforted by Vincent who assured him that he was taking part in the show “because it’s work”. <\/p>\n

She continued: “I feel like sometimes within all our industries that fact that we somehow, somewhat have a choice of what we pick up and what we don’t, you feel that guilt more.<\/p>\n

“Because ultimately you’re thinking ‘well this is something that I would really, really love to do for myself, it’s something that amazing for the career, it gives me money which will then enable us to do more as a family, but bam!'” <\/p>\n

Speaking about his “dad guilt”, Miller added: “There was a day, last week when I went, ‘I think I’ve made the wrong decision’, because it was when we found out it was gonna be immersive. It’s just not having contact with them, that’s what I’m gonna struggle with.”<\/p>\n

Emmerdale<\/strong> airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on <\/strong>ITVX<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
