The Apprentice 2019
The Apprentice is back for another series where another 15 bright eyed candidates will compete to win Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment.
As ever, they’re a healthy bunch of ambitious types, each believing they have what it ultimately takes to be the one Lord Sugar should back.
They’ll first have to work together though, completing a series of tasks, as a united team, under the watchful eyes of working Mum Karren Brady and Claude Littner in order to impress Lord Sugar at the end of each task’s final showdown.
This year, there’s 2 working mums in the line up, and always ones to back a fellow working mum, here’s all about this year’s mum-contestants:

Jemelin considers resilience to be one of her best personal qualities, having come from a humble background in Venezuela. She describes herself as competitive and fearless in business, stating she is “1000% committed” to winning every task. However, she also warns that she can also be “next-level stubborn” and likes things done her way.
If that’s true, she’ll sure get plenty of airtime!
Lubna Farhan
