Last week, candidates on The Apprentice were tasked with creating a new recipe kit.
Lord Sugar sent them to Borough Market in London and split them into two teams, one half had to build the brand while the other half devised a tasty dish.
When trio Elizabeth McKenna, Sarah Lynn and Bushra Sheikh faced him in the boardroom, Bushra was sent home.
Remaining candidates James White, Jade English, Sarah Lynn, Michaela Wain, Joanna Jarjue, Elizabeth McKenna and Harrison Jones will battle it out to become his next protégé tonight.
