THE Apprentice is back on TV with its 17th season, and a brand new batch of candidates.
But cast your mind back to 2022, and do you remember who Lord Alan Sugar said those immortal words “You’re hired!” to in season 16?

Who won The Apprentice 2022?
There were just TWO candidates left in the battle to win The Apprentice 2022 – Harpreet Kaur and Kathryn Louise Burn.
In the end, it was Harpreet Kaur who scooped the crown and was “hired” by Lord Sugar.
Before going on the show, the dessert parlour owner from West Yorkshire describes herself as a “born leader” and “fearless”.
She said she was using the prize money to develop her already successful, six-figure coffee and cakes business to become a leading brand in the UK.
Speaking about winning the show at the time, Harpreet said: “I cannot believe Lord Sugar has chosen me to be his business partner.
“I have dreamt of this moment.”
What prize does the winner of The Apprentice get?
The winner of The Apprentice gets a £250K investment into their business idea and a 50/50 partnership with Lord Alan Sugar.
The deal has resulted in Lord Sugar handing out millions of pounds to a string of successful businesses.
Carina Lepore won in 2019 and had a launch event for her bakery business in September 2020.
She now has two Dough artisan bakehouses in Herne Hill and Beckenham, London.
Previously, the remaining candidate at the end of the process won a £100,000 salaried job within Lord Sugar’s company.
The change was made in 2011 with Tom Pellereau becoming Lord Sugar’s first business partner.
How can I watch The Apprentice?
The Apprentice can be watched on BBC One every Thursday night at 9pm.
The show runs for 12 weeks, and can also be watched on the BBC iPlayer.
The winner of season 17 will be announced during the final episode, which is predicted to air on March 23, 2023.
