The Apprentice is back for a brand new series - with a fresh batch of candidates hoping to show Lord Sugar their business acumen. The first episode of the 19th series sees Lord Sugar’s aides - Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell - head to Innsbruck in Austria to watch over the candidates on a special first task, where they need to sell tickets to luxurious trips.
Speaking about the show, Karren told The Mirror and other press: "I don’t laugh with them because we have a distance. I always say to them, I’m not here, because they can’t ask me anything. I’m in the background, ignore me. We can’t help them.
"Lord Sugar doesn’t want to go into business with me, he knows what I can do. He wants to see what they can do. If we help them, that completely defeats the object. They’re on their own two feet.". Insisting the show is completely organic and not scripted at all, she added: "We see it as a viewer sees it. This is a show with no script, no retakes, as it happens. But there are funny moments. You have to be really careful that your face doesn’t give it away. Very often you have to go out of the room.".
Karren recalled one particular incident in the new series where the contestants got themselves in trouble. She said: "There is a task where they have to create a hot sauce, and the sauce is so hot. So hot. There almost was an incident in the kitchen because the air was so - we needed to ventilate the place.
