Viewers of The Apprentice said they were left 'sobbing' as they watched members of the public be 'verbally abused' by some of the candidates in baffling scenes. But it wasn't as it seems.
During Thursday night's episode (February 23) of the hit BBC One show, which is now in week eight, the remaining nine candidates hoping to bag themselves Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment were tasked with creating and selling immersive experiences for paying customers, enticing them with convincing acting, gourmet meals and jaw-dropping entertainers.
Lord Sugar told Team Apex that they would be putting on an immersive experience at Shrewsbury Prison, while Team Affinity were given the Victorian town of Bliss Hill, with both needing to sell tickets, book entertainment and organise food and drink. Leading Team Affinity was Avi Sharma who decided on selling £99 tickets for a Victorian school experience featuring a contortionist.
