Donald Trump has appointed the British producer of the reality TV series The Apprentice as his special envoy to the United Kingdom.

The president-elect said Mark Burnett would bring a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to the role.

Mr Burnett, 64, helped significantly raise Mr Trump's profile in the United States when he was named lead host of the North American version of The Apprentice.

Announcing the envoy role, Mr Trump said: “It is my great honor to appoint Mark Burnett as special envoy to the United Kingdom.

With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role.

Mark is known for creating and producing some of the biggest shows in television history, including Survivor, Shark Tank, The Voice and, most notably, The Apprentice. He is the former chairman of MGM and has won 13 Emmy Awards.

Mark will work to strengthen diplomatic relations, focusing on areas of mutual interest including trade, investment opportunities and cultural exchanges.

In October 2016, Mr. Burnett and his wife, actor Roma Downey, distanced themselves from Mr. Trump, criticizing the hatred, division and misogyny that was a very unfortunate element of his campaign.

Mr Trump has already nominated businessman Warren Stephens as US ambassador to the UK.

Sir Keir Starmer confirmed on Friday that Peter Mandelson had been chosen as the UK's ambassador to Washington.

The former European Union minister and trade czar said it was a great honor to serve the country in this way.

However, Labor major's past remarks about Mr Trump, whom he once described as a white nationalist and racist, could further damage attempts to foster close US-UK relations.

Chris LaCivita, senior adviser to Mr Trump's 2024 election campaign, described Lord Mandelson as an absolute fool.
