It\u2019s time to whip out your suitcases and iron that office attire \u2013 The Apprentice<\/a> is back for its 2023 season with a new cast of candidates<\/a> and undoubtedly more shots of the London city skyline.<\/p>\n From financial controller\u00a0Denisha Kaur Bharj<\/a> and salon owner\u00a0Dani Donovan<\/a>, to senior sales representative\u00a0Simba Rwambiwa<\/a>\u00a0and antiques entrepreneur\u00a0Gregory Ebbs<\/a>, these business hotshots aren\u2019t afraid to elbow their way to Lord Alan Sugar, who\u2019s once again offering an investment of \u00a3250,000.<\/p>\n While Karren Brady is back as Lord Sugar\u2019s aide, Claude Littner is appearing in the first episode before being replaced by season 1 winner Tim Campbell due to \u201cmedical issues\u201d<\/a>, but not to fear \u2013 he\u2019ll be returning for the interview stage of the competition.<\/p>\n With several weeks of botched negotiations, unbearable grillings and brutal back-stabbing to come, here\u2019s everything we know about The Apprentice 2023 tasks so far.<\/p> In the first task of the 2023 season, the Apprentice candidates are setting off to Antigua, where they\u2019re tasked with selling tours.<\/p>\n The two different teams must pick a bespoke tour to sell to local tourists and make a profit \u2013 so hopefully there aren\u2019t any angry patrons demanding refunds. With aides Baroness Karren Brady and Claude Littner keeping an eye on the candidates, nothing will go unnoticed in their debut task and according to the BBC, viewers can expect \u201cbickering on the beach\u201d and \u201cwoeful negotiations\u201d.<\/p>\n Episode 2 of The Apprentice season 17 will see the remaining candidates head to Hutong in London\u2019s The Shard, where Lord Sugar breaks the news that they\u2019ll be selling bao buns.<\/p>\n Tasked with manufacturing two types of bun, the candidates must sell savoury bao buns to the public and pitch a bespoke sweet bun to a corporate client. The team with the biggest overall profit wins the task.<\/p>\n In typical Apprentice fashion, the task doesn\u2019t go smoothly, with one team\u2019s Jurassic-themed bun \u201cleading to explosions in the kitchen\u201d, while another team are \u201cleft in short supply after a maths meltdown\u201d.<\/p>\n The Apprentice airs on 5th January at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.\u00a0<\/strong>C<\/strong>heck out more of our\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0for more to watch.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
