Yesterday, the first cast photo for Celebrity Apprentice Australia 2021 was unveiled and let me tell ya, it’s a bloody good line-up.
You’ve got ethereal sibling duo The Veronicas, radio king Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli, celeb personal trainer Michelle Bridges, and a bunch of other Aussie celeb royalty.
Among the list of singers, designers, and reality stars competing in Celebrity Apprentice 2021 is Married At First Sight bb turned influencer, Martha Kalifatidis.
But apparently not everyone was stoked about her casting in the show and her social media soon became flooded with nasty comments from Celebrity Apprentice viewers.
Her MAFS boo Michael Brunelli took to his IG to defend Martha from the trolls, bless him.
“I don’t normally get sucked into this stuff but the comments on this post are pure filth,” he said. “They are from the saddest, lowest form of humans in Australia.”
“Bullying someone for going on TV to RAISE MONEY for a charity. I’m done with the Internet today.”

In a video shared to Instagram on Sunday, Martha said: “I am so excited to announce I am going to be on Celebrity Apprentice, so make sure to tune in and watch.
“Obviously, I’ll bring the drama… It’s basically 2016 again and I’m in the principal’s office, except the principal is Lord Sugar, and he is not sugar-coating it.”
