BBC The Apprentice slapped with complaints as Karren Brady comes under fire for cutting remark

There is usually one week of the series that fans of The Apprentice look forward to the most but it appears some were not impressed with this year's round of candidate interviews as the show was slapped with complaints. The hit BBC One show returned to screens on Thursday night (March 16) for the penultimate episode of the 17th series.

Viewers watched as the five remaining candidates - Dani Donovan, Megan Hornby, Victoria Goulbourne, Marnie Swindells, Rochelle Anthony - went through the famous interviews which sees their business plans completely picked apart by Lord Alan Sugar's trusted advisers.

Claude Littner returned to help after he was seen right at the start of the series as he slowly returned to work following a horror bike accident. And this year, for the first time, Baroness Karren Brady also stepped in to quiz Lord Sugar's potential business partners alongside Mike Soutar and Linda Plant as they helped the billionaire businessman whittle down the remaining contestants from five to two ahead of next week's final.
