While he didn’t win Celebrity Apprentice Australia, Ross Noble’s TV career may be far from over.

After the English comedian enlisted former contestant Wippa and fellow funny man Sam Pang to help him plan his final event, fans were quick to suggest the three men should team up for a reboot of a very popular show. And Wippa is definitely on board.

During last night’s finale of Celebrity Apprentice Australia, while the eventual winner Shaynna meticulously planned a classy gala event with former contestant Martha Kalifatifis, Ross’ approach was slightly more unorthodox. Calling in reinforcements in the form of radio host Wippa and fellow comedian Sam Pang, the finalist greeted the two celebs on a race track.

And while Ross didn’t take out the top spot, after seeing the gentlemen on the race track, fans are rallying for the comedian to receive a consolation prize in the form of a Top Gear reboot.

It all started when radio host Matt Layton tweeted screenshots of Ross, Wippa and Sam around the race track, writing, “Random idea: If a network plans to bring back @TopGearAus can it please hire these three? #CelebrityApprentice”.

Needless to say, the pitch went down well.

“Great idea! I’d watch that,” one twitter user agreed.

“That would be a great show,” another added.

“I’d watch it for sure.”

“YES! I would watch that!!” a fourth penned.

And it’s not just fans who are vying for the show to be made, one of the proposed hosts even shared his approval for the reboot.

Heading to his Instagram stories, Wippa posted a screenshot of Matt’s tweet, adding the caption “Let’s do it!”

Ross himself has yet to comment on the TV pitch, granted he has been a bit busy congratulating his fellow finalist and winner Shaynna Blaze for her performance.

Sharing a sweet close-up selfie of the pair of them, Ross penned a sweet message to “class act” Shaynna for how she handled herself throughout the competition. 

“Massive respect to @shaynnablaze on a well deserved win on @celebrityapprentice she is a class act and stayed true to who she is throughout all the madness,” Ross wrote.

He continued: “She earned an insanely huge amount of money for @voiceofchangeau i might have lost the show but def made a friend. After we finished filming one of my favourite things was not just having dinner with shaynna but seeing people’s faces trying to work how we could possibly know each other. Congratulations.”

Shaynna herself took to Instagram to pen her own message about what the experience meant to her, while also sharing a personal message to her fellow finalist Ross. 

“Congratulations to @mrrossnoble, a true genius and a fantastic opponent,” Shaynna wrote. “I’m so happy for him and his charity @redcrossau, with which he has an incredibly personal connection.”
