It was a gruelling few weeks as the stars of Celebrity Apprentice pulled out all the stops to impress head honcho Lord Alan Sugar.

But finally, after several boardroom bust ups, a couple of sneaky cheat moves and a lot of bonding time, the winner of the show has finally been revealed.

So who got hired? The one and only Shaynna Blaze!

She was an underdog from the start, with several very close encounters in Lord Sugar’s firing line, but ultimately, Shaynna proved that slow and steady truly wins the race.

And just one look at her face upon hearing of her big win will tell you just how much the win means to her.

Tonight’s episode saw Shaynna Blaze and Ross Noble, the final two, bring their own flair for business to the forefront.

Shaynna’s traditional approach compared to Ross’s… um… chaotic take on the final challenge was the perfect juxtaposition – and posed the perfect riddle for Lord Sugar who ultimately decided on the winner.

They do say variety is the spice of life…

The final four were an impressive bunch (from left, Shaynna, Ross, Martha and Josh).

While there’s no doubt the show was largely an entertainment escape, there was another element that we loved to see – raising money for charity.

For Shaynna, picking Voice of Change was a no brainer. The empowering organisation helps survivors of abuse by amplifying their voices through the arts, as well as spreading awareness to prevent violence in families.

Ross’s chosen charity was the Australian Red Cross’ Disaster Response and Recovery Fund.

Both managed to make a history-making amount of money for their charities – an incredible effort for some incredible causes.

Shaynna and Ross achieved a record-making sum of money for their charities.

Of course, Shaynna and Ross were simply the cherry on top of a very dramatic pie this season.

The cast of the show was jam-packed with big personalities.

Take Married at First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis for example. The social media maven used her shameless promo-side to her advantage, causing a few ruffled feathers along the way.

And then there was David Genat who’s over-confidence was ultimately his downfall.

There were the Wippa’s and the Josh Gibson’s who brought a sense of wholesomeness with a bit of fun to the mix.

But most of all, it’s our winner who impressed us most – may she reign forevermore! (Or at least until 2022 when the next season airs…)

Au revoir to another solid season! ‘Til next year..
