After an exciting start to the series, which saw Chiles Cartwright become the first casualty of the boardroom, The Apprentice will return on Wednesday as the candidates prepare for their second task.
Ahead of the episode, HELLO! Online takes a sneak peek at what’s in store for the 19 remaining hopefuls…
The Task - wearable technology Lord Sugar summons the candidates to Imperial College London to reveal the details of the second task – design a piece of wearable technology.
The two teams – girls vs boys – must combine fashion with cutting-edge gadgets before creating prototypes and presenting their products to retailers.Before they can get started, it's back to the drawing board for the girls, who have been instructed to think up a new team name, after their first choice, Team Decadence, was rejected by Lord Sugar.
After discussion, it's Jemma Bird, 26, who comes up with their new moniker, Team Tenacity.
The teams then get designing; Team Tenacity coming up with a hi-tech jacket, and Team Summit a jumper with a built-in camera. Half of the candidates focus on fashion, while the rest tackle the technology side of things.
Come sales day, they are faced with some of the country's biggest retailers – but it's touch and go as to whether one team will have a product to present at all, and a slip of the tongue threatens to tear one pitch apart.
