Last year’s series was won by Joseph Valente, who beat Vana Koutsomitis to become Lord Sugar’s business partner.
This year’s suited and booted candidates are ready to face Lord Sugar, Prokofiev’s “Montagues and Capulets” is echoing around our living rooms and our palms are already getting sweaty.
Finally, The Apprentice is back, bringing Karren Brady, Claude Littner and the promise of a £250,000 investment for the winner with it.
The first task of the new series will test the candidates’ skills in negotiation and selling, with each team attempting to spot the rough diamonds among a stash of antiques and collectibles.
