A new season is coming!
The Apprentice will make its returns to screens soon, with a new group of business owners hoping to win investment from Lord Alan Sugar.
Through a series of challenges and tough boardroom discussions, only one person can be named Lord Sugar’s next business partner, following in the footsteps of Marnie Swindells and Harpreet Kaur.
While some details have been revealed about the new season, including that it’ll kick off with a trip to the Scottish Highlands, where the teams must put on away days for corporate clients, the BBC has been tight-lipped about what else to expect.
