Welsh comedian Rhod Gilbert has been announced as the host of BBC Two's You're Fired and You're Hired, the companion shows to The Apprentice.

The shows are set to return in October, and Gilbert commented 'As a massive fan of The Apprentice, I can't wait to start hosting You're Fired. As someone who has been fired from 24 jobs in six series of my BBC work experience show, Rhod Gilberts Work Experience, I feel I have what it takes to empathise with the candidates who've been so cruelly rejected, and provide a shoulder for them to cry on'.
