The hunt for Lord Alan Sugar’s newest protégé is on, which means it’s time for the, ahem, sharpest business minds and elbows from across the land to scramble for a life-changing investment while fleeing that gnarled index finger of doom. Read on as we explain how to watch The Apprentice 2022 online from anywhere.

Yes, tech mogul Lord Sugar has taken a break from savaging remote working over Zoom calls from his Florida retreat, to tear strips off the latest perfectly preened pack of grandiose dreamers and dastardly schemers.

Finance manager Nick describes himself as “an animal in the boardroom”, beauty specialist Amy says she won’t take no for an answer on… anything, apparently, and digital marketer Akshay considers sleep to be a “waste of time.” 

Scowling over proceedings will be Karren Brady and Claude Littner substitute Tim Campbell, the winner of the first series of The Apprentice, who embarked on a somewhat circuitous career after becoming Sugar’s chosen one. But he certainly knows what it takes to catch the boss’ eye.

An ever-reliable generator of some of the most toe-curling moments in TV history, here’s how to watch The Apprentice online for free no matter where you are.

How to watch The Apprentice: You’re Fired

Comedian Tom Allen is back on hosting duties for The Apprentice: You’re Fired, the sister-show that’s almost as catty as the real thing. 

You’re Fired follows each episode of The Apprentice, airing at 10pm GMT every Thursday on BBC Two. Remember, you can also watch the half-hour show FREE on BBC iPlayer, either live or on-demand. 

Tom Allen and a rotating panel of guests will roast and rehabilitate each week’s unwanted candidate, who’ll get a flavour of what the public really thinks of their antics on the show.

It’s always packed with unseen footage, bloopers and suspiciously generous testimonials from boardroom frenemies.
