Harpreet Kaur wins The Apprentice but leaves BBC viewers with burning question

The Apprentice fans were left with one major question after Harpreet Kaur's win on the BBC show, after it went unmentioned despite being a bone of contention just a week earlier.

At the end of a gruelling two month competition and a closely fought and thoroughly entertaining final, dessert business owner Harpreet triumphed over rival Kathryn Burn in the finale. The last task of the series saw both women asked to launch a new business with Harpreet, owner of Barni's before the contest, winning with her new dessert company Oh So Yum and becoming Lord Sugar's new business partner.

However, while reacting to The Apprentice result and declaring Harpreet was a very deserving winner, many viewers who tuned into Thursday's final, were left asking the same thing as credits rolled - what about her sister? In the semi final, Harpreet was put on the spot by both the notoriously thorough interviewers and Lord Sugar himself about what would happen with her sister, Gurvinder given that she was the co-owner of Barni's.

Harpreet insisted that conversations had already been had with her sibling and he was 'prepared to step down,', but Lord Sugar adviser Kareen Brady described it as 'the elephant in the room,' asking him: "Who are you going into business with? Harpreet, Hapreet's sister or both of them?"

And Apprentice fans were left with the same question as Karren as nothing was said about Harpreet's sister during the final or in the aftermath of her win. One tweeted: "Really enjoyed #TheApprentice tonight. Congratulations to #Harpreet and also to #Kathryn and both teams. BUT ... why was there no mention of Harpreet's sister, when they could talk of little else at the interview stage? Has she been fired???"

Left with the same query, another posed: "So what happened with Harpreet's sister? Not a problem anymore?" a third quizzed: "Well done to Harpreet's sister - er - were you hired or fired?

Harpreet's sister was also not addressed on The Apprentice: You're Hired, which aired on BBC2 straight after the final ended on BBC1. Watching and seeking answers, one viewer tweeted: "Was praying we’d get to talk to Harpreet’s sister in the audience."
