The anticipation has reached fever pitch as is primed to hit the screens tonight, showcasing 18 eager participants determined to secure a handsome £250,000 investment from business titan
Amongst the candidates joining the show is Teesside’s very own Hair Transplant Consultant, Carlo Brancati, who boasts of reshaping lives by enhancing self-esteem—a journey he’s personally traversed with two hair transplants under his belt.
Now firmly established in providing top-notch guidance for those grappling with hair loss, Carlo aims to streamline the search for premier transplant clinics.
Ahead of facing off in the boardroom, Carlo told about his fierce drive, he commented: “My journey has been defined by relentless dedication and self-taught expertise.
“With a master’s degree in psychology, sales experience, and self-acquired digital marketing skills, I’ve worked 15-hour days over the past several years to master the tools of modern entrepreneurship. Simply put, no one works harder than me!”

fans will have to tune in this Thursday night to witness how Carlo does on The Apprentice as the candidates take on their first task in Austria, reports Chronicle.
A synopsis for the upcoming episode reads: “Under the watchful eye of aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell, they are split into teams and sent to Austria to sell and run alpine tours.
“Pushing for the highest overall profit, the sides sell and deliver unforgettable glacier and forest experiences. After subpar ticket sales and bullish negotiations in the boardroom, the results are in, and it’s auf wiedersehen for one candidate.”

Lord Alan Sugar has hinted that this year’s batch of contestants on the show might be the most impressive yet. He commented: “Well, as time goes by and we do more and more series, I think we find that the quality of the candidates gets better and better, and it’s important because the candidates make the show.
“The series is not about me or just the tasks that we set, most of all it’s about the individuals that join the process. I think this series is going to be great. We start off with a great trip to Austria which really sets the tone for the series.
“We also have lots of really good tasks, from buying and selling potatoes, making a virtual pop star to creating a banking app for kids.”

With next year marking The Apprentice’s 20th series, Lord Sugar revealed there’s already plans in the works. He commented: “We are already working on ideas for that. It’s got to be a very special occasion, hasn’t it? There needs to be a lot of promotion and excitement around it, it’s what it deserves.
“We’ve got a great team of people that think up ideas and all that stuff. And again, it’s all down to the candidates, which we have not chosen yet, of course. I want a really good set of candidates for the 20th.”
The Apprentice airs Thursday 30 January on One and iPlayer from 9pm.
