Camilla Franks reveals the one phone call with A-list celeb that never aired on Celebrity Apprentice

Camilla Franks was the latest star to be kicked off of Celebrity Apprentice Australia.

Stopping in on Thursday morning’s episode of Today, Franks revealed one moment during her final challenge that never did make it to air.

The Australian designer was tasked along with her team to create the ultimate sleepover that catered to six children and their parents, at Madame Tussaud’s.

Camilla and her co-star Martha Kalifatidis went head to head in the episode after she managed to blow the entire budget.

Despite the tumultuous challenge, she had one win and secured a visit from Delta Goodrem.

However, in the end it wasn't enough and she was fired by Lord Sugar.

But during the chat with Karl Stefanovic and Ally Langdon, Camilla revealed a few key moments that never made it to air, including a call from an A-List celebrity.



Camilla revealed to Karl Stefanovic and Ally Langdon that a key few moments, including a call from an A-list celeb never made it to air.

"They cut out Olivia Newton John doing a call in from LA. They cut out me returning to set with Luna [Camilla's daughter] after four hours of sleep and doing everything," she revealed.

Camilla also explained why she appeared to be so fiery in the show at times.

"It is a mixture of big personalities and sleep deprivation," she admitted.

"I'm usually surrounded by a Formula 1 team, my CAMILLA army, and all of a sudden I have my backyard go-kart team that you're trying to sort of make magic happen and it's just so clunky."

Camilla revealed she also had a lot going on in her personal life during filming.

"Reality TV is not a normal space to be in," she explained.

"You've got cameras in your face so I found that really uncomfortable.

“Then I was going through rounds of IVF and still on my journey with breast cancer, and I was doing solo mumming while JP was away so it's a recipe for success am I right?"

Camilla said her personal concerns didn’t outweigh her gratitude to Celebrity Apprentice Australia for giving her a platform to spread awareness about breast cancer.

Camilla raised $20,000 for the National Breast Cancer foundation during her time on the show.

Camilla also revealed that breast cancer changed her entire approach to life.

"When your mortality is questioned and you've nearly lost your life from breast cancer,” she said.

“I made sure because I was one of the lucky ones to survive. I made sure I wanted to honour every single woman we've lost along the way. All the women who are still fighting the fight and the ones that are about to embark on this hideous journey.

"By 2030 I never want my little girl to ever go through what these women have gone through and we're trying to raise 100 million dollars in the next nine years for the research."
