The new series of The Apprentice has been pushed back until summer 2010.
The show, which was due to start in March, has been moved to avoid a clash with the general election.
The BBC Trust ruled there would be an increased 'risk to impartiality' after Sir Alan Sugar's appointment as the government's business advisor.
Spin-off programme Junior Apprentice has also been postponed.
