Hit BBC reality show The Apprentice is returning to our screens with 18 candidates competing to win a life-changing investment of £250,000 from Lord Alan Sugar.
The 17th series, which will air from Thursday, January 5, on BBC One and iPlayer, will kick off with a trip to the Caribbean, where the candidates will be tasked with creating and selling excursions to tourists. Lord Sugar told the PA news agency: "Last year we were restricted by Covid in what we could do and what we couldn't do because of the health warnings.
"So this year, we decided... let's come back with a big bang. So I said: 'Let's go somewhere great to really kick off well.' You should see the the candidates' faces when I said to them: 'Right your first task you're going to Antigua', that's wonderful. Also for the audience it will be a great kick-off for the process."
