Tonight saw one contestant crowned as the winner of BBC's The Apprentice.
Over the past few weeks we have seen 16 candidates take on 12 tough tasks in the BBC show. In tonight's episode the final two contestants went head to head in a final battle to determine who would walk away as the winner of The Apprentice 2022 - gaining Lord Sugar's approval and £250,000 investment in their business
The final episode saw this year's fired candidates return to help Kathryn and Harpreet launch their companies over an intensive three-day challenge. Kathryn and Harpreet then had to pitch their ideas to Lord Sugar and a room full of industry experts.

Harpreet chose Brittany, Akshay, Nick, Navid to join her. Meanwhile Kathryn chose Stephanie, Amy, Akeem and Harry to be on her team. Team Harpreet created a food product, featuring a basic chocolate chip recipe. She named the brand 'Oh So Yum'.
Kathryn's team created a pyjama range, offering nightwear for all of the family including adults, kids - and even for the dog. They named their brand 'Pyjamaly'.
Both teams sought after consumer feedback. Harpreet's team was told that their product was 'too sweet' and 'too much'. Kathryn's brand was criticised for the logo as the public thought that it resembled a charity shop look too much. But it was Lord Sugar and his panel of industry expert's opinions that really mattered most to the contestants.
Harpreet was first up, as she stumbled her words multiple times while getting her pitch out. However, she went on to confidently answer the questions fired at her by the pro's.
Kathryn was next, as she said that whatever happened in the next ten minutes was 'potentially life changing'. She confidently delivered her pitch and showed her television advert.
The teams both eventually made it to the boardroom where they would determine their fate and one of them would be the final contestant to be sacked at the hand of Lord Sugar, with the other one walking away victorious. Making his decision, Lord Sugar said: "It's very hard, this is difficult for me."
He chose the overall show winner as he said: "Harpeet... you're going to be my business partner. Well done for being in the final. I'm sorry that one of you is not going to be my business partner."
Harpreet was over the moon as she thanked him. She went on to say: "I can not believe that Lord Sugar has chosen me to be his business partner. I have dreamt of this moment and it just completely proves that if you work hard and do believe in yourself, dreams do come true."
