NEW REALITY

The Apprentice Thursday, BBC1 HD, 9pm

Sixteen new candidates will be giving 110% in a bid to impress Lord Alan Sugar when The Apprentice makes its eagerly-awaited return this week.

Joining the series this year is former winner Tim Campbell, who joins Karren Brady as Lord Sugar’s trusted advisers, stepping in for regular aide Claude Littner, who is recovering from a cycling accident.

The 44-year-old, who won the first-ever UK series in 2005, says he has loved the chance to be poacher turned gamekeeper.
