Who is Kurran Pooni?

Kurran Pooni is a law graduate from London, who believes he has a keen creative eye and is confident that he’ll cope well with ‘managing egos’.

Kurran is inspired in business by his father who started his own airline.

Kurran gets irked by people who are out for themselves rather than working collectively for the team and gets especially rattled by people who lie.

The 22-year-old says that simply being himself will help him to breeze through the process.

He says: “I’ll be honest, I don’t eat, sleep, breathe business but I do eat, sleep and breathe success.”

During the series Kurran managed to break his arm while arm wrestling with fellow candidate Daniel in the house.

Who is on the show's board with Lord Sugar?

Lord Sugar needs "eyes and ears" on the ground during each week's tasks.

He used to be assisted by Nick Hewer and uber-shrewd Margaret Mountford.

But after legal aid Margaret left in 2009, West Ham CEO Karren Brady took over the role.

Then, in 2014, PR guru Nick left The Apprentice, and Claude Littner stepped in to replace him after years acting as one of the official interviewers during the CV round.

This year, Karren and Claude will both return to the show to spot who's not pulling their weight during the tasks.

When is The Apprentice on BBC One?

The Apprentice is a hit BBC reality show, now going into its 14th series, featuring hour-long episodes.

Each series of the programme aims to find a new apprentice for billionaire business mogul and Amstrad founder Lord Alan Sugar, who's worth £1.4bn.

It aims to recreate the toughest of business environments and tasks for its set of contestants, but it is often very funny due to the incompetence and arrogance of the competitors.

It launched on BBC One on Wednesday, October 3 at 9pm and continues at the same time each week for 12 weeks.
