TOP model Andrea Roche will add a new credential to her CV this month.
The Diary can reveal she will make a special one-off appearance in the much-anticipated Irish version of The Apprentice.
Andrea has been drafted in to offer contestants some entrepreneurial advice and TV bosses are hoping she will add some glamour to the mix.
According to the man behind the show, Larry Bass: "We were really impressed by her, she really knew her stuff and she was very adept at putting it across on screen.
"She wasn't at all put off by the camera and the contestants all seemed to have enjoyed their time with her."
Andrea wowed television bigwigs this year by organising the hugely successful Miss Universe Ireland pageant for the first time.
She caused a stir at the time by walking out on her five-year affiliation with the Miss Ireland contest, which helped launch the careers of Rosanna Davison, Pippa O'Connor and many more.
But according to the producer of the Irish Apprentice, the move may be the one to really launch her television career.
"She really impressed everyone with the Miss Universe pageant and I think it's probably only the start of big things for her.
"She's been in business a long time, has years of experience and she certainly knows the ins and outs of the whole industry," he told the Diary.
It remains to be seen what other familiar faces will be popping up on the TV3 show, but creators have promised us that viewers are going to be glued to their seats.

"I am literally running a huge corporation,'' Paris said.
"I have my clothing lines, my champagne, my watches, shoes and purses and dog clothes -- every sort of product you can imagine.
"I am doing movies. I am doing my record right now, and producing, starring in a TV show.
"So it is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week job. I work all the time, so I laugh when I hear people say that.''
