The first episode saw the boardroom held in Hong Kong - with Baroness Karren Brady and former winner Tim Campbell advising Lord Sugar on the suitability of the candidates.

Week two seek saw then attempt to create a children’s story book...with mixed results, while they were challenged to create a canapé based on either chicken or egg and sell it to a corporate client in week three.

Weeks four and five saw them challenged to advertise bottled water and sell flowers repectively.

The last entrepreneur standing will receive a cool quarter-of-a-million pound investment, along with mentorship from Lord Sugar himself.
