The Apprentice UK Series 20 Release Date, News, Trailer and Contestants
Lord Alan Sugar, the iconic business mogul, has built a legacy through his hit TV show, The Apprentice. With almost twenty series under his belt, Sugar continues to seek out new business partners and invest in promising entrepreneurs.
In a recent episode, Dean Franklin emerged victorious, securing a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar. Franklin’s success came after facing tough competition from Anisa Khan, whose innovative restaurant and delivery business combined Indian flavors with traditional Italian pizzas.
Fans of The Apprentice can look forward to not only another main series but also a festive celebrity special. The show’s return date has not been officially confirmed by the BBC, but based on past seasons, we can expect it to premiere in late January 2026.
Typically, The Apprentice airs after The Traitors, with three episodes airing each week. Following this pattern, the series is predicted to conclude around January 24, 2026, leaving a prime slot open for a new season to potentially begin on January 29, 2026.
In the meantime, viewers can enjoy a special charity double bill of Celebrity Apprentice airing on December 29th and 30th. Celebrities will be tasked with creating a festive gingerbread biscuit in Lapland, complete with branding, a jingle, and a TV advert.
The star-studded lineup for the celebrity special includes AJ Odudu, Angela Scanlon, Charlie Hedges, Eddie Kadi, Jake Wood, JB Gill, Kadeena Cox, Matt Morsia, Rob Rinder, Sarah Hadland, Shazia Mirza, and Tom Skinner. While Tim Campbell will be absent from this special, he is expected to return as Lord Sugar’s trusted advisor for the upcoming series.
As anticipation builds for The Apprentice series 20, fans eagerly await a trailer and the announcement of this season’s contestants. With applications already open for series 21, it’s safe to say that The Apprentice is set to continue its success for years to come. Stay tuned for more updates on this iconic show!
