The eight-bed, nine-bathroom luxury home is thought to be the most expensive pad used by the hit BBC show.

It is on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, North London — dubbed Billionaires’ Row.

The last time it was used by the show, agents estimated it cost the BBC £100,000 a month to rent.

Business wannabes including Joe Phillips and Marnie Swindells can also unwind in a fully-stocked bar after a grilling from Lord Sugar, as they bid for his £250,000 investment.
