More infoJoin us on WhatsApp Karren Brady and Tim Campbell have dished out some insider secrets about the firing process on The Apprentice, hinting at the tell-tale signs that a candidate might be on their way out. The dynamic duo, who serve as Lord Alan Sugar’s trusted advisors on the show, spilled the beans during an appearance on BBC’s The One Show, which aired on Tuesday, 28 January. Karren confessed to keeping an eye out for certain behaviours that could signal a contestant’s impending doom. She disclosed: “I think lying, not owning your mistakes. Not standing up for yourself. Not fighting your corner. Those things can often let you down.”

Tim, on the other hand, highlighted the importance of numerical skills in the boardroom, suggesting that a lack of financial acumen could spell disaster for contestants, reports Wales Online. “The big thing for us is that, if you ever forget your numbers and you can’t add up in the boardroom. You think you’ve made a profit, but you’ve made a loss, you are dead,” he explained to The One Show presenters Alex Jones and Clara Amfo. In addition to these revelations, Karren teased some changes viewers can expect in the upcoming season of The Apprentice. Fans can look forward to the return of the popular series on BBC One from 30 January, with a fresh batch of ambitious candidates eager to win over Lord Sugar. Karren revealed: “Well, there’s so much! There’s so much to say when there is so much difference. Obviously, every year, the tasks get more and more modern. This year, we’ve got a virtual pop star and an AI pop star. And I think the scary thing for Tim and I was when Lord Sugar set the task, we were there as virtual popstars.”
