BBC The Apprentice fans distracted by 'rotten' detail added to the show

The Apprentice viewers found themselves flocking to social media after spotting a 'rotten' detail during the latest epsiode.

It was time for week eight in the BBC One show with Lord Alan Sugar getting closer to finding his next business partner.

The remaining candidates got their usual early morning call and were whisked off to the Silverstone Circuit.

Stephanie Affleck led Akshay Thakrar, Kathryn Louise Burn, and Nick Showering while Harpreet Kaur took on the role of PM, leading Aaron Willis, Brittany Carter, and Akeem Bundu-Kamara.

The group were tasked with creating a racing-themed corporate away day for their clients, with the candidates needing to offer an immersive experience, including team-building activities and a top-notch lunch.

Both teams suffered setbacks, with their clients driving a hard bargain over the price of the day as well as having to negotiate food and experience costs.

There was also the small matter of having to cook the lunch themselves which ended with disgruntled diners and enough rice to feed the five thousand.

The teams spent day one planning their day, talking to their corporate clients and making sure they'll be offering them the best work day out.

But as the candidates arrived for day two and to work out the final details for their days, The Apprentice viewers were distracted by their matching outfits.

"The yellow & green jumpers on #TheApprentice are absolutely rotten," @BlairTheBaldy tweeted.

@chlodgshore asked: "Why do they make them wear these supermarket sweep jumpers #TheApprentice."

"With all the money Alan Sugar has, why does he always make them wear those horrific yellow and green jumpers? #TheApprentice," @ClarkeOnRadio shared.

@AdamSamue1 said: "What's with the awful team jumpers this season? Added purely for twitter memes #TheApprentice."

"What is with those coloured jumpers, are they presenting cbeebies #TheApprentice," @sarah42035043 added.

Jumpers aside, in the end it was all about who made the most profit.

Sadly, Stephanie, Akshay Thakrar, Kathryn, and Nick all found themselves at risk of being fired and it was edge-of-your-seat stuff as Lord Sugar didn't even give the PM the choice of who to bring back and opted for them all to return after deliberation with his aides.

And it was qualified accountant Nick who was given the boot after eight weeks in the competition.
