‘The Apprentice’ has been renewed for three more series.
The popular reality TV show – which sees Lord Sugar go on the hunt for his next potential business partner or partners – has only just wrapped up its 13th instalment but bosses haven’t wasted any time thinking about the future as the BBC have reportedly commissioned it for another three years, according to Broadcast.
The most recent series attracted attention as the 70-year-old magnate decided to break tradition by recruiting two business partners because he couldn’t decide – meaning finalists Sarah Lynn and James White both ended up with £250,000.
Speaking after the historic double win, Lord Sugar said: "This is a historic moment, I suppose, in the 13 years we’ve been doing this. And it’s really because of what I said in the episode. I couldn’t make a decision. It had to be both of them!
"They were two genuinely great experts in their field and I’m looking forward to going into business with them."
James – who owns a recruitment firm – was relieved that Lord Sugar didn’t decide to split the money because the £250,000 will "probably" change his life.
He said: "We get on really well and it’s a great feeling because not only have we both won, he hasn’t halved the money for each. He’s giving us both £250,000. That’s real money and that will really change my business and probably my life moving forward. It’s nice just do it with Sarah because we’ve gone through the same experience and then go to through this as well is just really nice."
However, it wasn’t a decision Lord Sugar made lightly as he spent a lot of time speaking with his trusty aides Karren Brady and Claude Littner.
