The Apprentice viewers have taken to social media to share their thoughts after Lord Sugar decided who his next business partner would be. The BBC series, which has been running since 2005, aired the 2023 finale on Thursday, March 23.
During the final episode, the two finalists - Marnie Swindells and Rochelle Anthony - were tasked with pitching their business idea to the 75-year-old business tycoon. They were joined by a small selection of fired candidates.
At the end of the episode, Lord Sugar decided that it was Marnie who’d be getting hired. She will receive £250,000 to set up her community-focused boxing gym BRONX. For the latest TV and Showbiz news sign up to our newsletter here.

“Two very excellent candidates. But I’ve always been known to be a gambler, I’ve always been known to try new horizons so I’m going to try a new horizon… Marnie, you are going to be my business partner,” Lord Sugar said of choosing his 2023 business partner.
Following the decision, there was a huge response on social media. One viewer wrote: "Lord Sugar has made the right decision there! Well done Marnie."
