Let’s be honest – no Apprentice 2026 candidate stood a chance against Karishma Vijay, arguably the best contestant the BBC show has ever had.
The 29-year-old beauty brand owner secured Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment for her skincare business, which she launched after discovering a “cure” for her acne – and it was glaringly inevitable from week one that she would win the series. In all 20 years of the show, there has not been a contestant who has exuded such likeability, justifiable confidence, and, believe it or not, common sense.
