Here’s your first look at The Apprentice’s second episode tonight on BBC One.

The opening episode saw the group split into Men and Women teams as the candidates hosted a corporate away day in the Scottish Highlands. Back in the boardroom, one candidate became the unlucky first to be fired.

For week two, Lord Sugar reveals that the candidates will be manufacturing miniature cheesecakes to sell to the public and to a corporate client; with the team who secures the biggest overall profit winning.

One team’s fruity creation crumbles, whilst the other team fumble their figures. In the boardroom, one team is given a grilling; and on the losing team, one candidate is sent packing.
