Watch The Apprentice Season 18: Preview
What does a pie shop CEO, “The Mary Poppins of business,” and a former member of UK band “Arcitechs” have in common? They were among those braving the boardroom this year in the hopes of partnering with Lord Sugar and securing his £250,000 investment. Season 18 has been nail-biting entertainment and with the end in sight, we explain below how to watch The Apprentice 2024 final online from anywhere – and completely free.
The Apprentice season 18 put an initial 18 would-be entrepreneurs through their paces in a series of business-related challenges with each tasks designed to test a different aspect of their industry savvy. The high-pressured, against-the-clock stakes were, as ever, heightened by having Baroness Brady and Tim Campbell MBE scrutinizing the contestants' every move.
Among the season 18 hopefuls were pharmacist Amina Khan, the self-declared “hardest-working woman in business,” and jewellery shop owner Noor Bouziane, who claimed she'd “go to any length” to win that life-altering investment. There was also Tre Lowe, a former DJ and perinatal fitness coach Sam Saadet, a wheeler-dealer with an eye for a bargain. With the hopefuls now whittled down to two, it's up to “super geek,” Phil Turner, “Supreme Pie Champion” of 2020 and boutique fitness studio owner Rachel Woolford to fight it out in the final.
Over the series, we've seen candidates devise a virtual escape room, host corporate away days in the Scottish Highlands and create, produce and market various food and drink, including children’s cereal and vegan cheese.
But the undoubted pleasure of this, and every, season has been watching these so-called “titans of industry” make cockups unworthy of high school enterprise day, and there's been plenty of fudging numbers, manufacturing faux pas, and throwing teammates under the bus throughout the series.
18 hopeful candidates entered the boardroom, but only two are still in with a chance of leaving with that life-changing £250,000 investment. Tune in to the blockbuster conclusion with our guide below, which explains how to watch The Apprentice Season 18 final online with BBC iPlayer from anywhere.
