THE Apprentice returned for the show’s famous interview episode.
However, for three unlucky candidates their time on the show came to an end last night (April 11, 2024) after Lord Alan Sugar delivered those immortal words, “You’re Fired!”.
Who left The Apprentice last night?
The Apprentice season 18 continued with the remaining five candidates continuing to compete for that £250K investment from Lord Alan Sugar.
Last night's semi-final episode was the dreaded interview round, and the final five went up against the tough panel of interviewers.
Viewers watched as each of the remaining hopefuls were grilled by Claude Littner, Linda Plant, Claudine Collins and Mike Soutar.
However, three of the candidates failed to impress Lord Sugar with their interview, and got the boot.

Tre Lowe's testosterone-boosting shots failed to tickle Lord Sugar's taste buds, and it all went downhill.
There was also a last-minute change to Dr Paul Midha's business plan after he was told by Lord Sugar's advisors to "stick to what he knew".
His plan was a scrubs business, despite having little knowledge of the industry with his expertise being in dentistry.
Back in the boardroom, and Lord Sugar attention to music and wellness entrepreneur Tre, and said: “Tre, I’ve always said to people in this process that you will learn as you go along, and that includes me.

“And I have learnt that you are a good bloke.
“Your business is not up my alley mate, and so it is with sincere regret, You’re Fired!”
Next in the firing line was recruitment consultant Flo Edwards.
Addressing her, Lord Sugar said: “Flo, I think you’ve underestimated the difficulty it’s going to be in starting from scratch.
“It is going to be hard, and I’m leaning towards Flo saying I’m going to have to let you go. Sorry about that.
“And I do wish you very, very well. But Flo, You’re Fired.”
But Lord Sugar wasn’t done there.
He then looked at dental group owner Dr Midha, and said: “Paul, I wish you well.
“But unfortunately, because you are not willing to share the whole business with me, I’m afraid to say with great respect, You’re Fired”.
