The brand new season of BBC's The Apprentice kicks off later this week, and one candidate hoping to impress Lord Alan Sugar is a Glasgow entrepreneur who you might already recognise.
Reece Donnelly is already a roaring success in Scotland, with many knowing him from Instagram or as an actor who runs his own theatre school.
The 25-year-old has been acting since the age of just six and has had many big gigs over the past few years, with appearances in BBC drama Waterloo Road, an S1 jobs advert and a series of Nickelodeon voiceovers under his belt.
But this week could be his biggest break yet, when the South Lanarkshire entrepreneur will be one of the 18 new Apprentice candidates facing up to Lord Sugar in the boardroom as the new series launches on Thursday, January 5.
Back in 2017, Reece founded the Theatre School of Scotland and Theatre College of Scotland, making him the youngest college owner in the UK. And what an incredible five years it's been for him and his students, with many of them landing roles with Disney, BBC, CBeebies, CBBC and Netflix.
His work as an actor has seen him do various community drama projects with the organisations such as Barlinne Prison in partnership with The Citizens Theatre and Kibble Secure Centre in partnership with West College Scotland.
Reece, who is the director of KR Management, lives a lavish lifestyle with a massive following of almost 9,000 people on Instagram, where he posts about both his work and personal life.
He likes to share snaps of nights out and when he's on holiday in luxury places such as Ibiza, Tenerife, New York and Dubai as well as the odd slap up meal, and cocktail or two.
In 2018 Reece made The Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards final.
Reece who is originally from Cambuslang attended Trinity High School and appeared on Britain's Got Talent audition stages at the age of 15.
He graduated from the University of Sunderland with a BA(Hons) in Drama and at 20 years old he set up the theatre school based in Glasgow city centre in 2017.
The Apprentice will return to our screens on Thursday, January 5. The brand new series will see more candidates and tasks overseas, setting it up to be the best yet.
Joining Lord Sugar will be his trusted advisors Baroness Karren Brady, Tim Campbell MBE and Claude Littner, who returns for two episodes.
We hope Reece goes all the way to become Lord Sugar's next business partner.
