BBC The Apprentice updates LIVE: Who is in the 2025 final?

The pair made the final of The Apprentice after Amber-Rose Badrudin, Chisola Chitambala and Jordan Dargan were fired. The final stage comes almost two months after series 19 started with 18 candidates hoping to impress Lord Sugar.

So who are the finalists?

Anisa Khan, a pizza company owner from London, said her "mindset was always to win". "I kept my eye on the prize," she said.

The candidate said despite her losses during The Apprentice process, a part of her "knew I'd always make it to the final because I kept that mindset". She was so sure, that she even planned her outfit for the final and took it to the house with her.

Dean Franklin, who has an air conditioning company in Essex, said making it to the final two was "a dream".

"You sign up to this process and you think, "I've got a one in 80,000 chance of actually getting on the show'," he said. "To get on the show is a massive achievement in itself, you've already defied the odds, and you've already got to a good point.

"But for me, the goal was to make the final five. I thought if I get to the final five, I'm happy. And then to go on further and further and you think, 'Can I win it?' To make the final was massive for me."
