Lord Sugar Uncertain About Hosting Future Apprentice

Lord Alan Sugar has expressed uncertainty about continuing as host of The Apprentice, citing his advancing age as a factor, though preparations for a landmark 20th series are already underway. The upcoming 19th series, set to premiere on January 30, introduces 18 new candidates vying for a £250,000 investment and mentorship from Sugar. This season features a mix of tasks, including creating a virtual popstar and developing a banking app for kids, and begins with a trip to Austria. Notably, the traditional gender-based team division has been scrapped, allowing for mixed teams from the start. Among the contestants is Amber-Rose Badrudin, a social media influencer with a strong online following, reflecting a trend of candidates with significant digital presences. Despite some controversy during filming, Lord Sugar remains focused on the candidates' potential, acknowledging that they are central to the show's success.
