It was a tense final as the pair delivered their final pitches in the boardroom with the help of former candidates.
However, it was ultimately Marnie who was chosen as the winner.
Following the win, she plans on opening a boxing gym near the Bank of England in the capital.
In last week’s episode, she explained her boxing gym business plan.
“My business is in boxing gyms, the name’s Bronx, the idea is to create a middle-market option between the high-end boutique gyms and the low-end spit and sawdust gyms.” she said.
Marnie added: “I’m in such a male-dominated industry. But what I’m doing goes to show that you can be successful in any industry if you put the work in.
“The women were definitely the most successful candidates on this series. Women can do it all.”
It didn’t take long for viewers to share their thoughts about Marnie’s triumphant win, with one raging: “MARNEYYYY YESSS!!! Well deserved!”
Echoing their thoughts, someone else proclaimed: “Correct decision!”
“Well done Marnie. Well deserved I must say,” said a third viewer.
Another social media user added: “Rochelle will still be successful, a great runner up.”
It comes after Rochelle said the BBC did her “dirty” after she posed for photos ahead of the finale.
The entrepreneur wasn’t impressed when she saw herself in promo shots.

Marnie shared snaps from their photoshoot online alongside a gushing post about Rochelle.
However, Rochelle commented under her post and wrote: “Also these pics did us dirty hahahah. I’ll upload the ones off my cam xx.”
Marnie captioned the sweet post: “Just two women gunning for a better life.
“We may be in competition in this moment, but the truth is, I’m in awe of Rochelle.
“I look at everything she has achieved as a mum, a business owner and most importantly as a woman and I can’t help but admire her.”
