Tomorrow it's the final of everyone’s favourite ball-busting business show. We can’t tell you who wins, but what about out the answers you actually want? Like who washes up? Who buys the tea in the café? What’s Lord Sugar’s favourite sandwich!? Our show insiders fill us in…
* What Lord Sugar has for lunch when he’s dispensing boardroom bollockings depends on what mood he’s in (normally grumpy), but he’s known to be partial to a tuna sandwich on rye.
* You know when the losing team head down the café and mumble into their mugs of tea? Well they don’t have to pay for their own brews. Just as well as they’d probably balls it up.
* When they get fired each apprentice jumps in a black cab… but it doesn’t take them home! Oh no. It whisks them to a nearby hotel. Fair enough, it’s normally late. And why would Lord Sugar pay for a cab home for someone he’s just fired?
* None of the girls get styled and they all do their own make-up… except for a bit of basic powder, which is slapped on for them just before they go into the boardroom. A good drinking game would be to have a shot every time you see someone wearing flats. It’s not very often, despite all the running around.
* If Lord Sugar phones and says he’ll meet you in 30 minutes down at the fish market, he means it. Even if it is four in the morning. It genuinely happens. We want a Sugar alarm clock!
*The candidates get their laundry done for them on a weekly basis. Aw, diddums. But they do have a washing machine for emergencies. Maybe in case Lord Sugar gives them a particularly scary telling off.
* They even get their food shopping done for them, and, if they get back from a task late, a lovely cooked meal is provided by the BBC team who live in the house with them. Wouldn’t want to be that BBC team.
* We asked our insider whether the candidates get drunk all the time. They said “the candidates are all responsible adults at the end of the day, and free to have an alcoholic drink if they wish.” This means yes.
So there you have it, everything you’ve always wanted to know about The Apprentice.
