TMZ reports that the ‘Guido’ was asked to appear on the fourth series of the US show, which has Donald Trump rather than Alan Sugar as the boss.

A source told the website that Pauly wanted to concentrate on his own spin off show for MTV, which has already started shooting.

Since filming finished on the second series of Jersey Shore the stars have been looking into new outlets for their 'talents'.

Pauly himself is often busy DJing while J Woww has been linked to a pro-wrestling contract and a nude Playboy shoot. The Situation has appeared on Dancing WithThe Stars.
