The Apprentice season 18 averaged 6.6 million viewers per episode, with 1.4 million viewers aged 16 to 34. A co-production with Naked (a Fremantle label) and MGM Alternative UK for BBC One and BBC iPlayer, The Apprentice season 19 will see 18 brand-new candidates battle it out for the opportunity of a lifetime to win Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment and mentorship.

Comedian, writer and actor Tom Allen will return as host of The Apprentice: You’re Fired, which will air each week on BBC Two and iPlayer following the main show. Allen will be joined by a host of celebrity fans and business professionals to dissect and debate the candidates’ progress through each task.
