The Apprentice

For week nine, the candidates must design a new men's skincare product, then pitch it to industry buyers. For one team, wrangling over a recipe leads to a disastrous skin-staining goo, meanwhile a lack of creativity on the other team results in an unoriginal concept. In the boardroom, Lord Sugar decides to wash his hands of not just one candidate, but two, in a shock double firing!

For week ten, the candidates are tasked with creating and branding a new dog food before pitching to major retailers.

In the kitchen, one team wrangles with their recipe, making a dog's dinner of their signature dish, whilst on the other team a premium product fails to deliver. On the branding teams, candidates bicker to be top dog. With plenty to chew over, Lord Sugar sends one candidate for walkies.

In the penultimate episode, some familiar faces return as the final five entrepreneurs and their business ideas are interrogated by Lord Sugar's trusted advisers. A deep dive into their business plans reveals fictitious figures, crazy concepts and absurd ambitions.

For one candidate, it's the end of the road as Lord Sugar tells them 'You're fired'.

The two finalists go head-to-head one last time to become Lord Sugar's new business partner and win his £250,000 investment.
With the help of some familiar faces, they must launch their business, create a new brand for their company, produce a digital billboard, direct and edit a TV advert and design a metaverse, then pitch it all to Lord Sugar and industry experts at a black-tie event.
