It was crunch time on the latest episode of The Apprentice as Lord Alan Sugar had to pick his final two candidates. But before the successful businessman made any big decisions, it was all about the highly-anticipated interview stage.
Brittany Carter, Harpreet Kaur, Kathryn Louise Burn and Stephanie Affleck would see their business plans scrutinised by Lord Sugar's most trusted expert advisors. The four remaining candidates met with publishing pioneer Mike Soutar, interior design agency boss Linda Plant, media agency chief officer Claudine Collins and, Lord Sugar's associate Claude Littner, who made a brief, but worthwhile return to the BBC One show after having to pull out of his aide role on the 2022 series due to a bike accident.
While Brittany's plan was to bring a high-protein alcoholic beverage to the market, Stephanie wanted to expand her marketplace for pre-loved designer childrenswear.
