Meet the 18 entrepreneurs competing to be Lord Sugar’s next Apprentice
Sugar will return to the boardroom alongside Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell MBE.

Could they not just go backpacking around South East Asia instead of backstabbing around the Scottish Highlands? Perhaps, but their loss of marbles is our gloriously watchable gain. I guess there is the £120,000 up for grabs.
As we saw in the first series, no matter a contestant's intuition or intellect, the game will always follow a course as wildly unpredictable as humans are irrational.
