A star of 2025’s The Apprentice has decided to walk away from the show and the chance at winning Lord Alan Sugar’s whopping £250,000 investment in shocking new scenes11:23, 13 Feb 2025The Apprentice: Lord Sugar fires Paul as he can’t give half of businessAn Apprentice contestant has unexpectedly left the series.The 2025 season started back in January and already one of Lord Sugar’s hopefuls has decided to step away from the competition. It has been reported that during the dramatic boardroom showdown, the contestant exclaimed that the ordeal was “not for them”.BBC’s footage reportedly shows the candidate taking matters into their own hands before Lord Sugar, 77, has the chance to fire them himself. The identity of the contestant has not been revealed ahead of tonight’s episode [13 February], which airs at 9pm on BBC One.A source has spoken on the bombshell stunt and said the decision was a “total shock” for everyone in the boardroom. However, they also believe that it was a clever tactic as some of their co-stars “believe the candidate wanted to avoid the potential embarrassment of being fired”.The contestant’s identity has not been revealedThe TV source spoke to MailOnline: “They saved Lord Sugar the trouble and simply gave up the chance of becoming his next business partner.” A source close to the mystery contestant actually countered the claim, saying that the star “realised that the show wasn’t the right process for them and their fellow candidates wanted it more”.”Staying in the process wouldn’t have been fair to their competitors as far as they were concerned. They have a very successful business, and they always had one eye on getting back to that. Everyone involved just wishes them the absolute best.”Karren and Tim have returned alongside Lord SugarThis year’s long awaited series saw the stars travel to Austria as Sugar challenged them to create and sell tours to travellers.

The 80-year-old musician, frequently seen cheering from the stands with family, couldn’t help but crack jokes with former footballing great Peter Schmeichel, even telling a crowd of 60,000 to “shut up” as they chanted during his interview – much to Schmeichel’s amusement.Sir Rod continued to shine as he left Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, Thierry Henry, and Kate Scott in fits of laughter with his cheeky comments. Sir Rod mistakenly called Schmeichel “Gordon Banks” and hilariously dubbed Richards ‘Big Knees’ instead of his ‘Big Meeks’ nickname.When queried by Peter about his evident passion for the club, Sir Rod quipped, “I’ve had a couple,” sending the ex-Manchester United keeper into laughter before joking: “You better get me off the air now. I’m embarrassing myself.”And when Jamie questioned if Celtic could triumph on the night, Stewart optimistically replied, “Yeah, it could be a big night… Whatever happens, I’m so proud of this club, and I’m proud to be interviewed by Gordon Banks! ” Yet, the light-hearted banter didn’t end there.Sir Rod was interviewed by Peter Schmeichel (Image: More
