Get ready to see The Apprentice 2022 cast in action, as series 16 is here and the tasks have begun. After two years off-air, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the show is back with 16 buzzing business people competing for a £250,000 investment from Lord Alan Sugar. Each week, they’ll face several challenges and at least one person will be fired before we get down to the final week where Lord Sugar will decide who will be his next business partner. Helping him to make that decision is Baroness Karren Brady, who returns to the series after joining in 2009. There’s also a new face in the boardroom in the form of the show’s first-ever winner, Tim Campbell. Dragons' Den is also returning to BBC One for series 19 with a brand new Dragon. Steven Bartlett will join Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, and Sara Davies after taking over from Tej Lalvani who quit the show last year to focus on his own business. At 29 years old Steven is the youngest investor to ever join the show. You can watch both on BBC1 on Thursday from 8pm.
