The Apprentice marked the start of its huge 20th series with a shock double firing. Lord Alan Sugar had plenty of tricks up his sleeves to start the big anniversary run.
First premiering all the way back in February 2005, the show has become a firm fixture in the TV calendar ever since. The BBC show has returned once again - with more candidates than ever.
The twenty hopefuls were sent to Hong Kong for a classic Apprentice challenge. Sent to find a series of items across the former British territory - it resulted in a shock double firing.
The Apprentice is set to continue tonight (February 5) at 9pm on BBC One. This week, the remaining candidates will have to make a children’s story and audiobook - what could possibly go wrong?
Remind yourself what businesses the hopefuls are dreaming of securing investment in. The winner will get a cash injection of £250,000 from Lord Alan Sugar.
But who has left the process already and which of the candidates are still in? Here’s all you need to know:
1. Nikki Jetha - fired week 1
Project manager in week one, Nikki was fired by Lord Sugar in Hong Kong. She was hoping to get him to invest in her comapny: Mortgages by Nikki.
